so now that there (most likely) will be 5 of 9 catholic judges, does that mean that intelligent design is fucked in the court?

It just goes to prove that Catholics don't ever claim that God talks directly to them, unlike many of the Protestant denominations("Jesus told me to invade Iraq").

One of only two presidents to have received a lower approval rating than W.

Would W have flown to the control room of Three Mile Island when the reactor's situation was critical to reassure the staff & community?

 Every time I see W involved with a genuine national crisis he's either running the other way in a hurry after dropping his copy of My Pet Goat, or he shows up about two weeks late and only stays long enough for a quick overflight & hand-shake/photo-op.

You'd think ggw would like Carter more?  After all, Jimmy wanted to legalize marijuana, even though he didn't smoke it himself...unlike W.

Flying to the control room of a nuclear reactor was a dumb stunt.  It convinced people that TMI was a far bigger crisis than it actually was and scared the bejeesus out of everyone.
 
 Carter has done good things since his presidency.  But as a President, he sucked.
 
 As for the Catholics... for the most part they seem more reasonable than Evangelical Protestants (pretty much everyone does) but then remember that they do silly things like ban the DaVinci Code and forbid contraception....

Despite flirting with good taste in music via your purchase of a Steely Dan album, Dr. Gloom, you're quite the 'Dim Bulb'.  I find it difficult to comprehend, what with your total ignorance of historical record, that you managed to secure such a cushy position working for the federal government?
 
 I'd hardly call a core meltdown a small crisis.  In actuality Carter's move calmed everyone.

Wow, that's really insightful of you. You must be smart.  I especially am impressed by the way you backed up your opinion with facts!
