As for the failed military rescue attempt? How much of that failure was due to Carter's mismanagement or interference is debatable. But the point is there was only so much he was willing to risk militarily. Any further escalation might lead to war. Should additional attempts have been made?

After the election, Iran got in touch with Regan's team. Negotiating with foreign & hostile powers is something Presidents elect are legally prohibited from doing. So Regan's team told Iran they would honor any deal made with Carter, but they would not get a better deal with Reagan. Iran knew exactly when The Gipper would be sworn in, so they arranged timing on the transport assuring the hostages would be out of Iran after Carter was out of office. Some susspect it was a deliberate insult to Jimmy

While I don't anticipate a dramatic Bromance breakup between these two, if there is any separation between them in the near future I doubt either one will make the effort to overcome the distance.

I did not realize that. I will update the tags.

Best summary of Jimmy Carter

Let us sing the praises of the Great Indoors

Storm hit and power off Wednesday afternoon. Power on Saturday evening. Water off Sundae morning. Water on Sunday afternoon. Barring any more disasters, this is actually one of the better times weather-wise to live in this area. October, in Florida, is like summer almost anywhere else in the country.

My dad didn't care for Carter. But more than once I heard him say Carter was the closest thing to an honest man who could be elected President.

Yes I am that (adjective). Layout is based on a phone key pad. 1 is top left. 5 is centre. 9 is bottom right. 1 X

I just said I'd plug it I never said I would LIKE it

Assorted Polkas and Beer Drinking Songs Frohes Oktoberfest!

2 X and I gleefully retire as undefeated champion of this Tic Tac Toe League Now who do I see about the multi billion dollar endorsement deals? Really, I can plug anything Less Filling OR Tastes Great

Didn't we fight two world wars and a cold war with dozens of proxy wars just to prove to each other that blindly following a strong man who says the things the most frightened voters want to hear isn't a path to lasting peace and prosperity?

Doesn't that belong on the Politics Thread?

Now the water is cut off all over the park where I live Not due to weather Some of my genius neighbors drove their golf carts off the streets last night and shattered a shallow water main by hitting a water meter for another trailer And yes, the only way to service the water line is to turn off water to the whole park Apparently the utilities take turns going down

Three days and about four hours later, the electricity is back on. About as long as i ever went w/o power in Michigan in a blizzard. What would it take to have burried cables, rather than overhead lines, everywhere?

Please don't think I'm trying to minimize the impact. 100 plus mph gusts can be devestating even without surge. Several of my neighbors took great damage. I got lucky. As a whole, my area came through A LOT better off than some other counties not too far away. And the difference is where the storm turned to go inland.

With FPL? I'm hoping for this fiscal year

Reminds me of Infectious Lass from the Legion of Substitute Heros. I miss DC Silver Age comics.

The motion has been tabled.

Manatee county was in the area where the winds were blowing out to sea as the storm made landfall. Check out Ft Meyers for serious storm surge damage. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe later. Who knows? The McD down the block has power

Update. Power is still out at my home so i am posting this on the road. Damage in my neigborhood was random. My trash can blew down the street. A sick banana tree was knocked over. So was the park enterance sign, taking several power lines with it.

I suspect George's character choice is really to get a reaction from Ellen or Nanase. He thinks they have magic. What do they think of his 'lazy' assessment?
