I don't see colours, I see a line. Same for months of the year and years through history.

To be fair, they were using Korean hours.

If Dumbya had spent ten times as much time clearing brush, the world would be a noticeably better place. (If nothing else, with enough attention to the task, he might have at least left Texas less flammable.)

Apparently they're connected to the colour thing, according to the sources I read. I see various types of lines- my time line is a straight line, from the beginning of time to infinity and beyond, left to right. I hear a date and my mind sees it on the line. Not sure if this helps me in professional career as a history teacher or not, but I don't remember ever not seeing time like that. My yearly calender starts at the top with January, then sort of loops up again so that December meets up with January. Actual numerals are again on a straight line, left to right. As soon as someone says a number, I see it. This doesn't help me with math one whit- I SUCK at it.

From Don Van Natta Jr., author of the book, <i>First Off the Tee: Presidential Hackers, Duffers, and Cheaters from Taft to Bush</i>.

1 John F. Kennedy Despite chronic back pain, averaged 80. 2 Dwight D. Eisenhower Had a green outside the Oval Office (800 rounds during 2 terms). 3 Gerald R. Ford Clumsy, but was a legitimate 80s-shooter. 4 Franklin D. Roosevelt At 39, polio robbed him of a powerful golf swing. 5 George H.W. Bush Once got his handicap down to 11. 6 George W. Bush Outgoing prez is a capable 15-handicapper. 7 Bill Clinton Can break 90, especially using his "Billigans." 8 Barack Obama The lefty plays more hoops than golf. 9 Ronald Reagan Didn't play often or well (best was low 90s). 10 Warren G. Harding Struggled to break 95. 11 William Howard Taft As hapless a golfer as he was a chief executive. 12 Woodrow Wilson Played more than Ike but almost never broke 100. 13 Richard M. Nixon He shot 79 once and quit the game. 14 Lyndon B. Johnson Played with senators to secure votes for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 15 Calvin Coolidge When he vacated the White House, he left his clubs behind.

And how much time did George W. Bush waste praying to God?

There's nothing that can entice me to clink of the link for that POS rag.

Plus, the shiftless shit hasn't cleared a bit of brush.

The Washington Times is just upset because of the length of the Presidents' putz.

What I don't understand about the WaTimes is how does it get people to read it. It's supported by crazy ass moonies, no? It's like I'll read anything from a batshit publisher as long as it supports my own bigotry.
