Interesting subject. Carter never served on a nuclear sub. One of the "official" Carter websites (interpret "official" as "friendly") I visited said that he left the Navy "at his own request", prior to any nuclear submarine duty. My understanding is that he resigned in order to return to Plains to take over the family business. I found no statement that he had a "degree in Nuclear Engineering", but I could have missed it.
stung??? NO SHITE!!! They are one BAD dose of PAIN!!! Stupid 'friend' of mine hit one in the water with a shovel. One of the tendrils laid across my foot. Oh God!!! Thought I was gonna die.
Swimming in Durban in South Africa, had one sweep its tendrils accross my arm. I was 11. I remember the pain like it was yesterday. Numb hand, unreal headaches, spasms, huge welt, sweating, and pure agonizing pain. I thought I was going to die.
Good grief! You have brought back MORE of Carter's horrendous administration that I'd forgotten about!!
Now, as I have posted in other threads, do we REALLY want another Jimmy Carter...this one in the form of Hillary Clinton? Don't think so!!!
Barbara Bush: another real-live prankster. I've posted this one countless times, but here it is again.
In Houston, filming "Tin Cup" with Kevin Costner and Don Johnson (a couple of real heart throbs at the time). These two heart throbs are having lunch with the ex-president and Mrs. Bush in their gated community. Mrs. Bush, with a twinkle in her eye and a bit of onery in her soul, sends Costner and Johnson next door with an empty cup to ask Mrs. "Smith" for a cup of sugar. Meanwhile, Mrs. Bush, wife of one president, mama of a Texas governor and future Florida governor...and future mama of a president, hides in the bushes so she can see the look on Mrs. Smith's face when she opens the door to Kevin Costner and Don Johnson. If I'd been Mrs. Smith, I probably would have fainted on the spot.
A true story.
At least you can awaken from a nightmare!
"At least you can awaken from a nightmare!"
You may not have seen my posts about my question to Michael Medved. I had the rare opportunity to ask him what he thought how Hillary Clinton would govern were she to be elected president.
His reply (paraphrasing) was that she would be much like that of Jimmy Carter, both in domestic politics and foreign policy. The "nightmare" may or may not come back. For those who didn't live through it the first time, you'd better hope it doesn't happen again. You ain't gonna like it...believe me.
Priceless!!!!
