was in grade school during the Carter fiasco, but was well aware that Mr. Peanut should have stuck to farming! RWR was such an extreme difference! A man the country most certainly needed at the time and who's legacy continues.
Me too! I was in first grade when he won the presidency and I can still remember how upset my parents were.! I remember the long gas lines and having to sit in the back seat of a very hot car with no air conditioning. My dad lost his job during those years as did many! When Ronald Reagan was elected it seemed like things changed for the better quickly in our household.
Well good night. Got to go do homework. Ugh.
And Spot and Barney
Happy homework see you around
I would like some verification of this. Everything I read about GHWB doesn't agree with this. He was asked by President Nixon (when he was a congressman) to run for the Sentate, a race he lost. I don't believe he was voted out of a congressional seat.
We had a Cocker Spaniel when my daughter and son were young, with the same coloring...but she had freckles on her nose...hence she was named Freckles...
She was the BEST dog...never a problem with her.
That's Dino actually. He was a friend of Reagan as were the others in that photo.
I'd like to, but you never know where the offer will come from. One Texas school I interviewed with had a more web-based program than I'm comfortable with and the other is UT-Austin, hotbed of liberals. But, it is Texas, so we'll see.
I find I am wrestling with something that most younger PhDs don't have to worry about. I have the chance at a few schools to build my own empire. At other schools my expertise would be used to help someone else build theirs. I'm trying to decide if I want to be a king-maker or the queen. Ya'll probably have an idea of which way I'm leaning. : )
I am pretty sure I am correct. I would have to see proof of my being wrong. I don't believe he was ever voted out of a congressional seat that he held. He may have lost the Senate race for the reason that was stated but he did not run for re-election for the congressional seat because of Pres. Nixon asking him to run for the Senate.
Howdy Wofstar, Thanks so much for the great pictures and the great deal of effort you put into these weekend "Dose's"
I wouldn't want to influence you....because I really don't know you...but, IMHO, a conservative shoots for the top...and CREATES the empire..
NOW, I am sure that any libs that are lurking will jump on that...and say, "See, now you admit that President Bush sees himself as a KING..and you guys agree"....
NO..that isn't true...but, he WAS elected to be the CEO of the business that IS the United States of America...and I think he is doing a great job..
So...I vote for you to build the empire...I know you can do it!!
BTW...Austins IS liberal...but, it is surrounded by conservative Texans...so, we tend to keep them behaving...except for Molly Ivins, that is...blech
Saw this while awaiting a much-need massage today, and it reminds me so much of our great and impressive Presidents, Ronald Reagan and our wonderful George W. Bush.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

Gnite snugs, Watch your mailbox :-)
Goodnight sweet snugs....you are a treasure!!
WOW...Starwise...you need to send that to the POTUS>..and have him work that quote into his SOTU address...because it certainly describes his push for democracy in the Middle East...
Thank you....you always have such wonderful posts!!
