When Jimmy Carter was running for President in 1976, proclaiming his honesty, Billy said, "I'm the only Carter who'll never lie to you." Another time he said, "My mother joined the Peace Corps when she was 70, my sister Gloria is a motorcycle racer, my other sister Ruth is a Holy Roller preacher, and my brother thinks he's going to be President of the United States. I'm really the only normal one in the family." Billy worked hard for Jimmy's election, but afterward the hucksters in Plains appalled him. "Maybe we should just...
...Brawleys immediately denounced the story, repeating their claims that a racist system of justice is stacked against them. "I am not a liar, and I am not crazy," said Tawana at a packed press conference held in New Jersey because her mother is on the run from New York State authorities for refusing to testify before the grand jury.

Bush recently underwent a campaign conversion and said he would support raising the minimum wage (as long as it was coupled with a subminimum as a "youth training" wage). He must have done the multiplication...
From the British point of view, the American revolutionaries were ingrates. Had not the mother country endowed her colonists with a splendid heritage? Did she not, at considerable cost, literally save their scalps from the French and their Iroquois allies during the Seven Years' War? The litany of disappointment went on, driven by royal self-righteousness and a scarcely concealed craving to punish the upstarts...
