Ha! Good ones Ross.

Here's another classic by Mark Twain: "If you don't read the newspaper(s) you're uninformed. If you do you're misinformed."

Lillian Carter should bite her tongue! Though I must admit I'm not all that fond of "Democrats" these days. Jimmy Carter was & is a brilliant man. Believe he can read in the neighborhood of 2000 words a minute?!

Anyway. Wasn't it Mark Twain that said "Reports of my death have been grossly overexagerated."? Heh heh heh

I didnt know he could read that fast, but over and above that...I think his work with Habitat for Humanity is exceptional. Most ex presidents do squat once their out of office and  I admire that. Also Billy C's work with aids. Say what you want about these guys as presidents, but I say their life long work makes the person. Heard Bill does cross words in ink while talking on the phone. Very intelligent.
Whatever....

Yup ole Jimmys a good man. His work with Habitat for Humanity & other charities is exemplary. On the other hand I heard the Bush's recently bought a 100000 acre 'ranch' in Paraguay ...
