Cool Hand Luke. A good movie and a sad truth about southern prisons.

Correct Willy! Western movie w/ Melvin Douglas, Pat Neal & Paul Newman. I just loved this quote when I was 13.
Homer Bannon: You don't care about people ***. You don't give a d**n about 'em. Oh, you got all that charm goin' for ya. And it makes the youngsters want to be like ya. That's the shame of it because you don't value anything. You don't respect nothing. You keep no check on your appetites at all. You live just for yourself. And that makes you not fit to live with.

Hud is so right Willy. I own the dvd. Mom doesn't like it because of HUD & the cow scene.

This sounds like an "are you smarted than a 5th grader" kind of question (because I feel I will be wrong).....LBJ after the Kennedy assassination would be my answer and any other vice prez that took over for whatever reasons (impeachment/deaths).

LBJ was elected in a landslide over Barry Goldwater in 1964.

Correct. In 1972 Nixon was elected along with Spiro Agnew. Agnew had to resign & go to jail over stuff that happened when he was Gov. of Maryland. Ford replaced him as V.P. and then Nixon resigned & Jerry was Prez. I don't remember the legalities of Ford's appt. to the V.P. job. Jimmy Carter beat him in 1976.

Just my opinion Dave, but it would be hard to argue that the Bears are run well. Look how fast they dismantled the '85 Bears. Cubs aren't far behind, all the bonehead things they've done in my lifetime. And KC isn't far behind having been out of the picture since they won in '85 I believe. The last couple of years doesn't erase their downfall. I think a lot of teams qualify.

I'm going with the Marlins right now. Owner, Jeffery Loria, fired the field manager and made the general manager take his place. The GM had never managed a team ever & they just kept on losing. Loria then fired the GM after the seeason b/c he didn't win as a FIELD MANGER! Now he just fired the announcer of 20 years for no reason.
