The misery quotient under the Rev Carter was certainly the highest I can remember in my lifetime. The guy was an awful President and has made an even worse ex-President.
But, he is a nice man and so, he goes on.

On the other foot, in spite of being in a war, Americans are asked to sacrifice nothing. Yay W!
I fear I'm getting too political here. Apologies in advance.  |
