I'm sure this isn't considered fluff by the Pillsbury family. They're probably worried sick about the little guy. And isn't the Pillsbury Doughboy a veteran of World War I? Come on, have some compassion here, people.

Yea Jefferson doing the LA Purchase keeps him off of the bad list entirely. Much of Jefferson's legacy comes in his pre-presidential years than when he actually took office but his election was crucial to the presidency because it showed that the country would practice what it preached by having a peaceful transfer of power from the Federalists to the Democratic-Republicans. Also good points.

I think Bob's lying to us.

Since OYL started, they can't fall back on their gimmick of showing the rest of the story in the regular monthly books, because all the current books take place a year after this issue. Sadly, they're still acting like they could.

The Defenders version of Nighthawk is dead, according to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Book of the Dead. He died in Defenders #106.

I want to know how Shawn Michaels is going to rationalize being an obnoxious pervert on TV again.

Tomorrow night I have to chaperone the Junior Prom. Hopefully I'll have some interesting stories to bring back Sunday morning.

The thing you got to remember about when historian rate presidents, is they generally like to use words like "effective" and "leadership" instead of best and worst. That way you can have someone like Jackson on a top list because he was an effective leader, even if he did some horrible things in office.

Point of comparison here... Polk stole a lot of land from Mexico, and Jackson stole a lot of land from the Native Americans. Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase, and actually PAID FOR IT.

Harding's encouragment of American isolationism and the protectionist Republican economic policies that helped lead to the Great Depression created the environment in which something like World War II could occur. That's not the same thing as blaming it on Harding. It just shows what a massive failure, in the long term, Harding's policies were.

Goldeneye was the best Bond film since Live and Let Die, but this looks like it could be better.

Put me in the "liked the first, hated the second" camp as well.

The changes didn't ruin the movies, but many parts did decrease my enjoyment of them. For instance, I liked the fact that Biggs was added to ANH, but a couple of pretty neat model effects shots were taken out for no reason. There were also some pretty non-sensical changes made that, I feel, hurt the films. The SE were still solid movies, mind you, but did lack some of the charm of the original versions.

Except, you know, his economic policies helped create the economic environment that allowed the Great Depression to occur, and his isolationism and trade policies encouraged the conditions that would help lead to World War II. Creating the Dept. of Veterans Affairs hardly makes up for that. Saying he would have cleaned up his cabinet is like saying John Kennedy would have gotten us out of Vietnam, or Lincoln would have had an inclusive reconstruction. The simply fact is that he did not do it, and we can never for certain what he'd have done had he lived. In fact, he's the person who appointed all of these crooks in the first place, right? Everything I've read suggests he was simply a crooked politician who was appointed the nominee via backroon deals, and gained the White House in the general election by exploited the public's paranoid overreaction to America's involvement in global affairs during the Wilson Administration.

All I remember is watching it on TV and wondering just what the point was. Here's a funny quote: Someone forgot to tell Coulter that he wasn't actually flying the plane. And what was up with G. Gordon Liddy complimenting the size of Bush's dick?

This thread is beginning to look like a transcript of the Watergate tapes.

Yeah, what gives? The big horrific tragedy that neccesitated the government crack-down was . This isn't "one big story". Its Marvel trying to milk its readers' pockets. Still, Capt. America = beyond cool.

Yes, armed Mexicans crossing the border really stand a chance of winning a gunfight with the American military.

Edited for accuracy.

What the fuck kind of bizarro-world history books have YOU been reading????

Fuck Wizard.

Captain America showed once again why he's my favorite Marvel character.

I was disappointed by the way and how short the final battle was.

And he really likes to see people executed.
