To be fair, allowing arms-race spending to run away to the point it became a severe threat even to the world&#039;s largest (by very far, at the time) economy <em>did</em> have something to do with at least the timing of the USSR&#039;s fiscal woes becoming so great that Gorbachev saw the end of the communist dictatorship as inevitable one way or another.
Did you have to bring that up?* The religiosity has always been the least appealing aspect of Carter. On the matter in hand, it may be less Matthew 5:28, more fire in the loins (Ezekiel 1:27).
Apparently a couple of guys <a href="http:\/\/arts.nationalpost.com\/2012\/12\/12\/justin-bieber-murder-plot-two-men-hired-to-kill-castrate-the-canadian-pop-star-have-been-arrested\/" target="_blank">wanted to kill and castrate the Biebs.</a> Not sure in what order.
Oh, thank you. I love <strike>Jimmie&#039;s</strike> President Carter&#039;s headband. It seems he <a href="http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=CqG4X1p5sVc" target="_blank">blows a mean harp</a>, too.
&quot;As we complete the 40th year of the fascisocialist Kenyan regime, through which I provided the American people with salvation in the form of government heatlchcare and government cheese, let&#039;s remember Jimmy Carter, who 4 years into my benevolent reign, reminded us that weed&#039;s OK&quot;
Used to work with an avid conservatard. One afternoon in bar car of the Metroliner coming back from New York he declared Saint Ronnie of SB the greatest prez ever, Carter&#039;s an idiot, blah blah...I said, &quot;When your country&#039;s having an election and you want someone to come verify that it&#039;s honest and fair, who do you call&mdash;Reagan or Carter?&quot;
He got <i>so</i> mad he couldn&#039;t speak.
And Reagan won the Cold War, not seven predecessors, the American people, and trillions in tax dollars. Who knew you only had to demand: Tear Down This Wall?
<i> I&#039;m in favor of it. I think it&#039;s OK . . . I&#039;m more of a speedball man myself, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.</i>
Ah yes! Because <i>nothing</i> is more important than stick-and-ball games, foot races, and rhythmic gymnastics.

Chet, I remember the Boy Scout on the teevee demonstrating the new and improved Pledge of Allegiance.

Not &quot;truthier&quot;. Words invented by Colbert should be used with caution.

Did you know that Jimmy was the president who signed the legislation that made it legal for people to brew beer in their own homes? I love you Jimmy!
The only person who used the Presidency as a stepping stone to greatness.
