Many things are timing, demographics, global economy, etc... However, fiscal irresponsibility is clearly Bush. |
ISU fans are the greatest in the world. All they ask for is hope and the belief that we have a chance to win every time we step on the field - Johnny Majors (paraphrased)

Yep, the quarterly reports are the only thing I am looking at for my 401k and mutual funds. Other than that I'm going to ride out the storm. |

Not to mention his fiscally responsible energy plan. I know there is a bottom 10 ranking for football, maybe we should have 1for Presidents.
Guys in the Bottom 10
Bush = Duke
Jimmy Carter = Temple
H. Hoover = Northwestern
Top 10:
Lincoln = LSU
Roosevelt = Texas
Others
Taft = Iowa (he was our fattest president wasn't he?) | | | |
