When you were in school did you have to walk uphill both ways? - BB Sep 8, 17:22 1
- We jumped on freight trains instead of walking the 3 miles to school. True story. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 17:30
Now, the only people who speak of "integrity" are old people; everyone else's motto is "Everybody Lies." -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:36 16

  - Yes, and who do we have to thank for it? - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:40 14
    - No Carter. He was a little too honest. He caused a scandal by admitting that he had lusted in his heart. - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 16:50 4
      - He slept in the same bed as his wife!? Good heavens! - BB Sep 8, 17:34
      - didn't he also say he had worn women's clothing? or was that just the SNL sketch I am remembering? -- nm - JenBro Sep 8, 17:07 1
        
        That might be an SNL sketch. -- nm - the liioulu with more humidity Sep 8, 17:15
      - I think of him every time I see the 'bunny of death' part of Monty Python's Holy Grail. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 8, 16:52
    - I agree with Nixon, Clinton, and Bush II -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:42 6
      - Iran Contra = Reagan. Ironically, though, it was his integrity that causes you to disagree. - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:44 5
        
        Except that, Ollie North took the fall. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:45 4
        
        sfek, people wanted to believe it was government running without the President's knowledge. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:48 3
        
        uhm, Reagen went on the news in 1987 to *SAY* it was government running without the President's knowledge. - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:51 2
        
        exactly. He said it and people wanted to believe it..... some thought "he wouldn't lie to us" and others figured he was just too old to really know - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:53 1
        
        Pretty much, the Independent Investigators found this to be accurate. - Will Hunting Sep 8, 16:58
    - I think we can extend that list back to JFK as well. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 8, 16:41 1
      - Not at the time though. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 16:42
