the random musings not worthy of new thread thread

[Butchers Bill]

GWB has also passed James Buchanon and Jimmy Carter as the worst president ever.

Buchanon is clearly the worst president ever, then Hoover.  The hatred for GWB gets him thrown in the mix for this title, but if you look at it analytically its tough to put him past those two.  I am by no means defending GWB, but saying he's the "worst ever" is nothing more than partisan hyperbole.

The holocaust never happened. 

it did,  November 12th 1990.

Crown Prince Akihito is formally installed as Emperor Akihito of Japan, becoming the 125th Japanese monarch.

Also, actress Eve Arden died.

Sorry, but despite his obvious shortcomings as a President he won't get past those two while the unemployment rate is below 5% and the economy is growing at an average of 3-4% a year.

worst ever.

[Cerevant]

Yeah, revoking the constitution and running up a big deficit is nothing - as long as the economy is doing OK, its all good.

[Rome]

The Bush Administration's unending trashing of the Bill of Rights alone makes him the worst president ever.  Idiotic wars, reckless spending sprees, utterly inept handling of the "war" on terror, trashing the environment, domestic bungling of crises in our own country (New Orleans especially)... the list goes on and on.

I agree - he's the worst ever and not really even close, IMO.

[Butchers Bill]

Buchanon and Hoover both brought the US to the brink of collapse.  One could argue that it did collapse because of Buchanon and the Civil War he helped start.

The US today, despite all of the issues that have been raised, is far from collapse.  The economy has to be taken into account when measuring a President otherwise Carter wouldn't be mentioned.  Worst foreign policy ever I can buy, but worst President ever ain't happening until the economy falls apart.

So i just had a cig in front of my building and was told by HR that they are going to start firing people for not smoking in the designated smoking area    I'd love to see that

Again Dio, not defending him, simply pointing out facts.

Iraq is a disaster that he personally responsible for and his foreign policy has set us back at least a decade or more, even with our allies.  In addition, many of his domestic policies can be questioned as far as their legality and whether or not they would pass constitutional muster...which is not "rare" in US history by the way.

Despite all that, Buchanon and Hoover were worse.
