Well, at least there's shit and it happens!

Ou, la, la.......my type of reader!

I have read his books on both Truman and John Adams. A bit dry in places but good and very well written. I haven't seen the series, would like to though.

"Research "Trail of Tears" and you'll understand." Yes, it was part of the party politics that got Jackson elected and Van Buren enforced it by removing 7,000 Indians. Over 38,000 Native Americans were moved in a 10 year period. Lots of pressure for westward expansion - not an excuse though. Perhaps is not a top 5??

US Grant ran what many historians say was the most corrupt administration in American history to this day. I've never thought Buchanan was associated with too much corruption, but he failed to take any steps whatsoever to calm the sectionalism that led to war. Harding fathered a child in a broom closet adjacent to the oval office--claimed he never wanted to be president and was not qualified. GWB will rate mediocre IMO. Too soon to say in any event. William Henry Harrison died in office after only 30 days! Why him? Andrew Jackson is much revered, but he was basically a butcher. Research "Trail of Tears" and you'll understand. Buchanan and his cronies, Chief Justise Roger B. Taney, to promote slavery in the territories. Buchanan personally lobbied his fellow Pennsylvanian Justice Robert Cooper Grier to vote with the majority in that case to uphold the right of owning slave property. A. Jackson was good and bad as was Nixon.

After more thought, I guess I've always been a big fan of Polk's work ethic. I'm surprised you haven't asked me about Tyler. Nothing is wrong with Tyler just wondering why you picked him over others?? Who is your favorite politician that never became president? (ie: Alexander Hamilton, Stephen Douglas, William Jennings Bryan...) I've always liked Henry Cabot Lodge. Of the folks you mentioned Alexander Hamilton is one. Another would be Ben Franklin.

You never participated. What are your picks? Okay! 5 Best George Washington FDR - some may say he took advantage by having three terms but he was the right man at the time Theodore Roosevelt - leadership, conservation, etc. Abraham Lincoln Andrew Jackson/Dwight D. Eisenhower 5 Worst James Buchanan - put economy in toilet and corruption Ulysses S. Grant - what were they thinking George W. Bush - 'nough said! William H. Harrison Warren Harding

So, Fairweather - Why are FDR & Jimmy Carter in the Worst section?? What gives?

Oh, no!!! I am crushed. How could the publishers do that to the educated masses?!

135lbs but I like to think I am adding muscle!

Something to hang your hat on, DeC!

Let the opinions fly!!!

A growing sport in Europe as well as South America.

The thing I don't get is folks that are not hunting carrying guns in the wilderness. WTF - why such a chickenshit? I'm off to AK for a couple weeks of field work near Denali. No guns, no spray. Just keep your frikkin' eyes open. I worked as a river ranger on the Green River in Northern Utah for a 6 months stretch, this is 6 years ago, and had to carry a gun. It was a requirement of the job!

Where are the security staff? Who knows what those volleyball chicks are hiding in those bikinis!

Looks like Laura, and the gal next to GWB, are try to tell George, "I think your holding the flag backwards."

Latest copy of the Weekly World News! Can double as TP if you are desperate.

At the very least I think everyone can agree that to be human is to be faulable.

To bad I wasn't there to view the disrobing!

Whew! saved by Sobo - thanks for the reminder! PP, where did you two go climbing? Did she wear that bikini?

Бідний Рогоз - той чує дзвін а не знає де й він. han lever, bra, og bor i en hule WTF, Tokogirl, you speak Polish now, too? Shite, I'm 50% Polak and don't know a word of it. BTW, the link works fine for me, but the connection is reeeeeeeeeeealy sloooooooooooooow. And I've seen similar pictures from as far back as WWI. Nothing new to see here. War is hell. No, it is Norwegian! So, being 50% Polish isn't going to help. All soldiers I have spoken with are usually not wanting to chat about their war experiences or say very little about it. They did what they were called to do just as soldiers from other countries do.

Manning Park is such a beautiful area. I've only skied there in the winter and backcountry in the early spring. Great TR!

Have you seen pics from the bombing of Hiroshima? exacutions in Darfor? Unfortunately there are pics such as the one you posted from all over the world...........are any of them sane?

That's nice that you give your boyfriend something to look at... it's back hair Talented combing job!
