"Twenty-five years ago on January 1, despite panic and fear that the world was soon to collapse into chaos, nothing much happened."

Morality tale? I guess we can hope.

Congratulations.

2000 a night? Musk probably p!$$es that amount away in chemicals by sundown.

Brokeback Biggie.

Thanks, Corky. This is about the only source I'd accept, as the Yale Book of Quotations was my source for the assertion. I worked on that book, so saw it in production.

You'll appreciate this. I pointed out that Somebody to Love and White Rabbit were actually written in 1966 when Grace Slick was with the Great Society instead of 1967, etc. Lines from them appeared in the Yale Book (2nd Ed.).

Mofo didn't make the change.

Thanks for the update.

I'm realizing I am proud to say that I shook hands and spoke with both Thompson and Carter.

Thompson at the Huntsville, AL, airport in the spring of '78. Carter in about 2001 after his Sunday school class at Maranatha Bap. My wife went up and gave Carter a kiss, and he said, "Right on!"

Niebuhr also never admitted he stole the Serenity Prayer from his secretary.

Neither here nor there.

In one of his Rolling Stone articles on Carter, the Good Doctor allowed that while he was a fan of Carter's, the one member of the family he could unhesitatingly vote for as president was Miz Lillian.

120.

Regional influence and "friendships" in areas not their own. Like the US used to do. And they deal in areas where the US has not been successful.

Sorry. End of 81:

Now America firsters want to a. bitch about China moving into South and Central America and b. withdraw from the global marketplace.

Magat scum are ------- morons.

China has all this influence cause for the past 20 years while America was fighting the GWoT, China has been investing in third world countries. Their investments are paying dividends in access to rare minerals and markets for their supplies.

81. truthhurts

MAGA has nothing to do with it. Everyone's ignored the China threat. I was editing peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles about exactly this from this perspective 15 years ago. Based often on documents only available in Chinese.

Sooner or later, America will lose to China because we've been outmaneuvered by them. And I'm saying that as a liberal. And I've said this here before.

Oh, and God save us from academia, right? For that you can thank MAGA and its predecessors.

BJ. I wasn't talking about the current election, and frankly I don't know much about Harris' faith.

But you've clarified that religion and morals are pretty low on your list.

Can you describe Gerald Ford's laugh?

If you read the news, it's pretty clear that numerous countries' leaders are smart enough to know how to deal with Trump at this point.

One thing I'll agree with Harris on and world leaders here, Trump is not a serious man.

I was talking solely about Carter and faith in politics.

PS. Also was at Carter's Sunday school class at Maranatha in Plains back in the 2000s, and have a personalized autographed copy of a book from him that I worked on that includes lots of early photographs from his state Senate and gubernatorial campaigns.

Mother in law and wife worked for his elections, etc.

When we were moving a couple of years ago, I uncovered a complete, untouched press kit from the 76 Convention. I hope I kept it....

"Despite his intelligence, he had a vindictive streak, a mean streak, that surfaced frequently and antagonized people."

Like lots of folks here, without the intelligence.

Sure, he had problems and things in his past. He ran a segregationist campaign for governor to get elected in 1970, something that's not featured at his presidential library. He was a successful politician, not typically for the feint of heart.

As a human being over the course of his life, he ended up better than 99 percent of humans by dedicating his later life to those other than him.

And for BillJ who says he certainly was a Christian, if you want Christians in politics, which it seems you would, why would you not vote every single time for someone whose policies and actions matched those of Carter in his postpresidency rather than others?

16, 18.

And an odd emphasis on the value and importance of masculinity.

I wonder who Boaz would be as one of the Village People.

When I listen to MSNBC and CNN, it seems to sound more and more like a woman talking. Even when the men speak. And then it makes sense.

It's what I have been saying all along. The progressive movement is nothing more than a feminist, lesbian white woman.

Is there a special Boaz decoder that allows someone to make sense of this?

"Just sounds right."

Hilarious. I didn't even read the article. It doesn't matter.

Merry Christmas to Christians, Happy Hanukkah tonight to Jews, late wishes on the winter solstice to the pagans ...

Mea culpa. Cow patties etc. also psychotropic.

11. Psychotropic, not psychoactive.

Lots more of these kids have been medicated with Adderall and different drugs to get their parents through their kids' childhoods.

15. Absolutely. Last thing they need is a psychosis-inducing chemical. I've got millennial kids teaching Gen Zers. No way would they want the problems of kids today.

"People won't tell you what you need to hear."

Boaz

People tell you every day what they think you need to hear, Boaz. What do you do with that information?

And what qualifies you to pass judgment on anyone here? The same sensibilities that weighed in so compassionately on the early deaths from the hurricane in WNC?

I wonder what percentage of that generation was raised at one point or another on psychotropic drugs.

Spent the early part of the afternoon in a shvitz today.

I bought three Brewer and Shipley albums all at once, thinking I might have liked them. Barely made it through one album. Then again, they were just a buck fifty apiece when I got them.

About all one can do is wait for the whole thing to burn down and not get in the way.

His constituents are still saying, "Thank God for Marsha Blackburn."
