Hmmm, if Bill Clinton ever has anything named after him, maybe it would be "Clinton Condoms", ribbed for her pleasure?
I wonder how many issues of Playboy and Penthouse are stored in Clinton's Library.

"I see Carter's finally polished off that last case of Billy Beer."Combat casualies from the American Revolution: 4435 killed, 6188 wounded.
My first thought reading the story: "Is Carter drunk?"

On that same Hardball show, Ron Suskind spent 20 minutes talking about how President Bush thinks he is the messiah and how Bush ignores all facts because he is hearing the voice of God... Matthews was willing putty.

"Jimmy" needs to pass on to the "other side". He did. Then he came back. You forgot to take into account his having seen UFO's.

Had the British Parliament been a little more sensitive to the colonials' really legitimate complaints and requests the war could have been avoided completely, and of course now we would have been a free country now as is Canada and India and Australia, having gotten our independence in a nonviolent way.Possibly true, but tact would only have smoothed over the crisis for a short while. In the long run, Britain would have been required either to extend parliamentary representation to the American colonies or invent the notion of a quasi-autonomous, self-governing dominion a couple of generations earlier than it did. Canada and Australia are not good parallels because they remained small in population and economically subordinate to the mother country throughout the 19th century. The explosive growth of the American colonies meant that a subordinate status could not have been long maintained.
One of my idle speculations is what would have happened had the Brits given the colonies representation in parliament. By the mid to late 19th century, the Americas would have been outvoting Britain in a transatlantic United Kingdom.

Jimmy Carter obviously is going senile
His wife needs to intervene.
I'm serious. He is a former President after all and his wife needs to stop him from embarrassing himself.
This is like the fourth time in as many months he has made a ass of himself.

Well, one parallel is that the Revolutionary War, more than any other war up until recently, has been the most bloody war we've fought.Idiot. He must be the ONLY Southerner who's nevr heard of the Civil War!
