Even if you love Jackson I just found the dismissing of the Henry Clay as surprising. Maybe he just really hates high tariffs and internal improvements.
As I said about the modern rankings: they say more about us than the presidents. So it'd be interesting to know what the reception of Clay was in the 40s.

But he does group presidents by their jobs and Clay is with Bryan in the "three time loser category" :lol:

I'd love to know his take on Tilden who is on his lonesome in the "Heroes Stand Alone" section :hmm:

So maybe he rated interesting/novel candidates highly (a man after my own heart :lol:)?

Fremont and Greeley certainly count as interesting.
And with that description one has exhausted their merits as presidential candidates.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

What is the danger line?

I presume being dangerously incompetent...again kind of vicious for Henry Clay there.

But Stone wrote biographical novels like The Agony and the Ecstasy about Michaelangelo, later adapted into the film. So maybe he rated interesting/novel candidates highly (a man after my own heart :lol:)?

Lust for Life (Van Gogh) was also a movie, he also had an Andrew Jakcson novel adapted. Hollywood has always loved their "great man" biopics, and this dude seemed to produce them industrially.

The Cuomo sex thing is back in the news, at least judging by my youtube feed, and this time it appears public opinion is against him.  59% in favor of resigning is what I've seen.  Wonder what changed between now and back when DGuller handed me his life savings.

Report came out.  Two months late and $25 short.  :mad:

The Minsky Moment

NYAG dropped an investigative report.  James is out for his head.

You can see it as too many allegations to explain away or too many enemies in his own party (and no friends elsewhere) or a little of both.  But however you slice it he is on the ropes and falling.

I don't understand how he hasn't already resigned - and if he keeps hanging probably needs to be impeached.

Although personally I find his "seual harassment is an essential part of Italian-American culture" amazing :lol:

Based on my research which consists of watching The Sopranos and living in New Jersey, I would say he is not wrong. :)

Good thing you got out of Joisey. I'd hate for you to live in a place of national ridicule.

Given what's going on in the rest of the nation, it's on poor grounds to deliver ridicule.
