How LBJ and W Became Presidents...

You see, 160 years ago, the people made a pact with the devil. True story. They said, you help free us from Mexico, and we will do your will...
Construction crews moved dirt to shore up a group of houses precariously perched on a crumbling hill in San Antonio on Monday as engineers tried to determine why the land below was shifting, causing dozens of homes to evacuate.

That's nonsense. The devil didn't free Texas from Mexico. John Wayne did.

Gino, say it isn't so!
I still consider him a Caly-forn-e-an.

Gino said...

as far as i see it, Reagan and I have shared heritage.

you can have nixon for yourself.

No thanks, his paranoia was a bit much, and he should have let the watergate "masterminds" fall on their own sword instead of trying a cover-up... but, actually, he doesn't seem that bad of a Pres, considering...

Mr. D said...

Nope -- Nixon was a terrible president for many reasons beyond Watergate. Anyone who institutes wage and price controls deserve scorn.

True, it is unwise to double down on failed policies. But I wouldn't place Carter or BimmyII above him.
