BUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP! \nMan, I am so hungry! I'm at school now, and I ain't got nothin' to eat. This sucks rat balls!\n\nI think Taft died before the Taft-Hartley act was signed...and I think that Truman was pres in '47.

Correct.  President Taft died in 1930 (president until 1913).  Truman was president in 1947.  The Taft of the Taft-Hartley Act was Senator Robert Taft of Ohio.  Now go get some food!

Still a little in shock and such over the event. I was at my school (high school at the time) waiting for a class to start. The class clown of our grade, Sean, walked in saying his dad just called and said something about [I don't remember what he said exactly]. We all told him stop kidding. We then got the announcement over the PA of what had happened. I think at that time both towers were hit. We got to go home early. My dad worked in NYC but nowhere near there. As for people who passed on, a co-worker of my dad's wife was in one of the tower's on one of the floors that was directly hit. Her name is Laura Longing.

Hey Redd, Do you remember the old TV commercials saying, "this is your brain before drugs and this is your brain after, and then the guy cracks an egg and fries it. The same principle applies here but unfortunately with our country. Our country before Bush jr.; no deficit, race relations were better, international relations better, etc. and after/during Bush.....well you can "look around" and see for yourself. Our country has become the proverbial "fried egg" so to speak. ;)  Oh almost forgot, the economy. I know it was better for me and all those around me BEFORE Bush, Now Bush talks about job growth, that's great if you want a job at Taco Bell or Burger King, but in terms of real growth, it's not happening.

Not really, the made jokes about President Carter they called him the peanut farmer. \n\nThey also made fun of Harry S. Truman, they didn't think he was educated enough to become president after president Franklin Roosevelt died. As a matter of fact he was Franklin Roosevelt's Vice President and was not even told the United States was on the verge of the atomic bomb that is how much President Franklin thought of him. Gen Douglas MacArthur almost showed disdain for him. President Truman had to eventually relieve him of his duties.\n\nRichard Nixon had a lower approval rating than President Bush and was eventually disgraced, he left his office before being impeached.\n\nThey laughed at Calvin Coolidge and called him slow Cal.\n\nThey called Taft fat Taft as he was the largest President we have ever had in office as far as weight is concerned.\n\nSo you can see there have been many presidents that had unfavorable stances with the public. \n\nIn some instances we did not have rapid media news as we have today, so it took awhile for the news to reach certain parts of the country.\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

Hey hey LBJ,  how many kids did you kill today?  It sounds like the same people running this one ran Vietnam.  Bush is not there to prevent disorder,but to  preserve it.  All so the plunder can continue while our military are security police for Halliburton and whatever other agents are there carrying out the plunder.  And don't forget we threw Afghanistan in as well.  Tell it like it is.  It does not exceed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but it is right up there on the scaremeter.  Well done!

They didn't have free lunches when I went to school.  When it did start it was a horrible embarrassment to admit you needed the help.  The requirements were much stricter then.  It was 1 meal.  Lunch.  Now they have breakfast too.  My mother worked in the cafeteria and was there through the changes.  She said more food is thrown out by the people getting the free food.  (Of course if it's as bad as it used to be I can't be too surprised. )  We all got the same thing.  There wasn't choices, or salad bars ,or fix your own taco day etc. There are people that need it and there are plenty just taking it because it's free.  I would never begrudge a child a meal so I'm glad they have the program.....I just hate to see it abused.

Absolutely agree. This whole gas thing is like a re-run of the \nRegan administration.\n\nWhen Regan was in office, I had to struggle to pay bills & eat  too, after he was out of office, I was able to catch up. Now,\nit's the same old thing, - only worse. I know of \nso many who are without health insurance, simply because \nthey can't afford it.  So disturbing.\n\nI wonder - Repub administration = high gas prices? \nThey do seem to go together.

6 years and counting SSG <--for almost 2 weeks. Hanging out in lovely Afghanistan with the rest of the guys and girls of OEF-7. Won't be home for Christmas... send Girl Scout Cookies...or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders?? Hey it's my fantasy leave me alone. HAHA\n\nI know we have all lost loved ones but there is a quote by Gen Patton that I like. If you don't like it please take no offense.\n\n"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."\n- General George S. Patton, Jr \n\nIf he were alive today I'm sure I would have said men and women.

Fishy, yes.  Also inevitable.  Oversight and accountability are clearly not tolerated by this administration.  The guy should have known better than to actually do his job!

Are you talking about that Nancy boy bloke. Haha Secret gave him what for didn't she, bless her.\nShe shouldn't worry about him though, blood pressure that high and he'll be dead before the next election.  All that stress coupled with all those cheeseburgers and it couldn't possibly end well.\n\nWonder what will happen to his trailer???

I think 2 shorter terms of 3 years would be wiser.  The present president is clearly a madman - I know the entire country can't be held responsible for his actions (as well as lack of actions in times of crises), but I just cannot comprehend how this could have happened!

We had just stood in formation for 45 minutes during a ceremony to name a permanent regimental commander and command sergeant major.  I had a lot of water before the formation and I really had to go.  \n\nAfter we were dismissed my buddy and I went to the PX to go get some lunch, so we ordered our food, dropped it at a table, and both rushed to the latrine.  There were 3 stalls and 2 urinals.\n\nMy buddy was ahead of me and he went into the far stall.  I went to the urinal, but some really old guy went to the second stall.\n\nWell the old guy had some sort of problem and made some thunderous sounds on the toilet, to which my buddy remarked "Good Lord you have got some cannon fire over there," thinking that it was me next to him in the middle stall.\n\nI didn't know what he was talking about at first, but then I guess the smell got to him and he said "Oh my God, dude, you reak!  I think I am going to be sick."\n\nThe old guy then let loose with some thunder and there was a lot of plopping.  At that point I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe, even though I wanted to tell him it wasn't me.\n\nSo he flushed the toilet at about the same time as the old guy and they both exited the stall at the same time.  The regimental commander was the old guy.

When I was at Ryan Junior High in Fairbanks, Alaska our ONLY option was: Chips & cheese dip & 2% milk. It was $2.75 in 1992. I haven't eaten school lunch since then (graduated HS in 97).

Pets, yes.  My cats are very distressed by the current administration.  The dead, no.  You've seen what happens when zombies get all uppity.

Before or after the president died?
