I'm referring to the actual war, not the post-war period that led to the world we have today.

Prop 54 is defeated.

Doesn't matter. He wouldn't get recalled. I know people expect this to happen often now, but trust me, this was an extreme case.

So? He was under no obligation to NOT run again. None whatsoever. The stupid thing is that the Republicans were so scared about this that they implemented the 2 term rule into law. Every President we've had since then that we like so much we'd probably keep them around for more than 2 terms has been Republican. Clinton is the one exception. He would have been re-elected in 2000.

For example, the auto industry was hit really hard in the Depression because nobody could afford cars and this led to even more layoffs. Once these plants opened up again to make tanks, it created loads of jobs, which meant that people now had money to spend in the economy. Two things you need to keep in mind. The Great Depression was 1000x worse than the current recession and WW2 was 1000x bigger than the current wars. That's why it made such an impact. WW1 had a similar affect on Canada. WW2 wasn't as important since we were pretty much out of the Depression by around 1936 or so (things had been improving since the lowpoint in 1931). It took the Americans longer to recover, and would have certainly taken longer if not for the war.

It looks like it is going to be a landslide. The Democrats should have bailed on Davis and put their efforts solidly behind another D candidate like Bustamante. They probably would have done better then. I know I couldn't figure out whether Dems wanted Bustmante or Davis as governor. They can't both be governor and confusion doesn't get votes.

True, but in '44, he knew he was dying and ran anyway. -=Mike I'm glad he did. Had Truman been president before VE Day we would probably be speaking German now (more realistically Russian, but still).

Ermm, NO. The Recall effort came about 2 months into Gray Davis's second term. This was 2 months after the majority put him in office. There is no way possible in 2 months that things went that downhill that fast. It was all about a guy with 2 million dollars to spend on spewing bullshit who wanted to be governor. Remember, originally this recall had nothing to do with policy or Arnold, it was about Issa, a guy who no one gave two shits about a few years ago, pouring 2 million dollars into a scheme to get Davis out of office. People were paid to sign the petition in many cases, and the thing just took off. There was a massive campaign to just blame anything and everything on Gray Davis, and after watching it day in and day out on tv for 6 months, people finally started to buy into the bullshit. He has an approval rating of approx. 27%. That is not a good thing. And he just got voted out of office. Getting a recall election is one thing, but actually losing it means that it he does deserve to get booted. The people have spoken.

I'm not denying that FDR was a great president. He was. Just that the New Deal itself wasn't effective. He tried, it just didn't work. Other geat 20th Century presidents include Teddy Roosevelt & Eisenhower. LBJ could have been good, but he was left with the mess JFK created. Worst 20th Century presidents were Hoover, JFK, Carter & Truman. Truman was probably the worst of the bunch.

Arnold wouldn't be recalled even if they had another election. People don't like a change in government in general. This was an extreme case, simply because Davis's popularity is on par with Louis XVI.

We have missing links elsewhere, most notably for the lobe-finned fish-to-tetrapod link and the synapsid-to-mammal link. We are also getting extremely close to the dinosaur/bird connection but haven't quite made it yet. The Burgess Shale is the best example of evolution in progress, including those mutations that don't make it, accounted for in natural selection which goes hand-in-hand with evolution. The first thing they teach you on the very first day of Earth Sciences and Paleontology is one simple phrase: "ORGANIC EVOLUTION IS A FACT" And no I am not atheist.

This is true. The New Deal's impact was pretty much non-existant in terms of helping the economy. WW2 brought the US out of the Depression. Not just your opinion, but the opinion of every US History professor I've ever had as well. And their opinion is worth more than ours.

Christian Bale was in the running, but him getting Batman probably puts an end to that. I've heard that MGM has been interested in Dougray Scott as well.

Yep. James Cameron has said that the studio paid more for Arnold's trailer in T2, then they did for the entire first film.

Clive Owen has been talked about for years, and he remains the favourite to this day, but I can't see them dumping Brosnan after he already signed to do one more. Its not like he's Tobey McGuire and the filmmakers would be glad to get rid of him.

I don't see how this is a bad thing. The greatest president of the 20th Century was an actor and former Governor of California.

I love the first FFT. It is kind of like Once Upon a Time in Mexico with people turning face/heel so often that you can't remember which side everybody is on before they get killed. It also has by far the highest bodycount I've ever seen in an RPG. Awesome stuff.

Spoiler (Highlight to Read): No. There is no reason for Sauron to go to Mt. Doom, unless he knows the Ring is there. In which case, he gets the Ring, movie over. There is no chance that Frodo, Sam & Gollum would be able to fight him, and he wouldn't be able to get there in the few seconds from when Frodo puts on the Ring till it gets destroyed.

Spoiler (Highlight to Read): Well, he sort of does. When Frodo puts on the ring, you see Sauron like when he put it on at Amon Hen. This is when Sauron finally realizes what has happened, and sends his entire army to get the ring. He can't show up in person without completely changing what happens. The whole Frodo/Gollum confrontation over the ring couldn't take place if Sauron was there.

All around, or purely as a wrestler? Both. The slight advantage that Jericho has on the mic doesn't make up for the huge gap in ability.

Eddy Guerrero is much better than Chris Jericho.

I liked HHH/Mick. Mick was headed out. He should have put him over like that. Anyone retiring should.

Katie Vick.

Jamie Noble and what has happened to him is the biggest crime in the WWF.

I've got Lions/Niners.
