... Roosevelt or Hitler?

Now that is a toughie....

Hitler massacred Europe.
Roosevelt gave half of the remnant to Stalin.
Then Stalin massacred Russia.

The safest route is to always vote "None Of The Above".

"Do you mean to say that we shouldn't consider dishonesty, disloyalty, emotional immaturity, and addiction when considering our leaders?"

Well,... we haven't thus far....

As Beethoven had only three brothers (no sisters), the posted article must not have been very well researched.

Correction: Beethoven's family

Ludwig Maria (died after 6 days)
Ludwig
Kasper Karl
Johann
Anna Maira Franzika (died after 2 days)
Franz Gerog (lived only two years)
Maria Margaretha Josepha (lived only 1-2 years)

No mention of sibling blindness in the Beethoven biography.

Also note: Hitler did have extra marital affairs. He had an incestuous relationship with his half sister, and only became a vegetarian after he allegedly discovered her body, when she committed suicide "for love of him".

Churchill was also a decorated war veteran, having participated in the cavalry charge at Omdurman. He was armed with a broomhandle mauser instead of the usual sabre because of a shoulder injury.

Of the 3 I prefer Churchill, on the whole.

Well, Winnie did get a couple of Nobel Prizes.

Has Al Gore had the balls and/or brains to tell Bill Clinton,

"Either you resign, or I will."

His place in history and in the Oval Office would have become instantly assured. I have heard he even thought about it, but was sweet-talked out of it by one William Blythe Jefferson Clinton.

I reckon Papa Gore (the one who lived off Commie Bribes from Armand Hammer) never told little Al, "Never trust a man whose middle initials are B.J."
