Uh huh...east of Valley makes you middle of town.
East of Spring., like the Hilton area, makes you an east-sider. |

I won't say "welcome back to MOL", but only because you've been keeping an eye on us, but just being quiet.
But, welcome back to posting. As for the rest of you, Harold is indeed a veteran from 'way back. Harold, good luck keeping these "newbies" in line.  |

Poor people live on the east side. Successful folks like me who hate poor people live on the west side.

Harold you have ruined my day. I have always wanted to be marginalized. One way or the other. Either from "the west" side of town or "the east". But if you have to stereotype like that at least do it with the archetypical "wrong side of the tracks". The definition of which I absolutely fit.

Sorry, but "wrong side of the tracks" is demeaning, like when folks here say "you're probably a cashier at Pathmark".
It's just plain mean.
"Poor people live on the east side. Sucessfull folks like me who hate poor people live on the west side".
Duh.
What else is new?

Harold, please accept my apology. My last post was apparently too nice towards you. As a result, Strawberry decided that he had to include you in his list of people to insult.
Let me know what I can do to remedy this situation. |

Considering the fact for the first 6 months I was posting I kept being asked if I was harold, I get the feeling Harold won't have a problem with "my little playful insult"

Yo, Straw. That quote from Dubya sounds awfully similar to Jimmy Carter's realization after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan that the USSR was not actually a very nice country after all. I suppose Dubya had a Carter moment. Did it actually take the WTC attacks of September 11, 2001 to make Americans/Dubya realize that a lot of people hate us? |

The quote means an act of war was committed against the U.S. and from that day forward Bush's legacy would be tied to nine-eleven.
Carter was the worst President of the 20th century. He even beats out Hoover.

Yeah, Carter was pretty darned ineffective as president. But he might be the best ex-president ever.

If he was still alive, there might be a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who would take issue with that overused 'PC' thought.

you could also throw Hoover into the mix--he was a great man before and after his presidency.

Clinton's already made 15x the money Carter's made since both left office and this excludes his yet to be published book. Carter, was so weak even today his opinion's are ignored by the masses, especially those within his own party.
The greatest ex-President thing is an excuse by those who voted for Jimmy Peanut, and those on the bonehead committee who believe he and Arafat deserve peace awards.

c'mon straw, lumping Carter's credentials in with Arafat's for a Peace Prize is just blind partisan hate-mongering. Be realistic and fair, please. Brokering the Egypt-Israel treaty was huge, and what's more, it stuck.
Kenney, I agree that Hoover was one of the Great Americans before, that he was shut out by Roosevelt, and Truman brought him back in; but what things did he do after?
Taft certainly is a candidate for best ex-President, but I'd vote for John Quincy Adams. |

I think Harold is disgusted with the self absorbed yuppie scum that posts here and may disappear for another year. LOL |

Kenney, thanks for the Hoover link. Indeed, a great man. Being elected President was probably the worst thing that ever happened to him. |

You're right about that.
It took several days before someone slammed Clinton. It usually takes less time than that, no matter what the original topic was.

How come I can say nice things about Hoover, but some folks can't stop slamming Carter and Clinton? |
