Fun thread: Who is the next pope?
This is kind of a game. Pretend you are the Vatican. Who is the 257th pope? Make it anybody famous who you want? He/she don't have to be Catholic either.

Funny isn't it how Republicans deny the truth. He was in office when the longest period of peacetime, post-war economic expansion in HISTORY occurred. Keep on dreaming braindead Re-pubes.
Apparently, Clinton gets too much credit for good economy of 1990s

Biased magazine
[image][/image]
From an antiaque shop on Sunday, I bought the May 5, 1980 issue of TIME, which talks about the failed Operation Eagle Claw http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Claw
.
Now, reading through it, all the journalists in the magazine were mentioning Carter's "failed and pathetic presidency" so I've come to the conclusion that this TIME magazine was biased.

Favorite one-term president
Who is your favorite one-term president? I would say JFK, but being that he never finished his term, I'd have to say Carter.
