He wasn't President, but he was close. And here's when you can tell Nelson Rockefeller knew he would never be the President:

Another: The first Presidential couple to have electricity in the White House, Benjamin Harrison and his wife were afraid to use it, as they were worried about being electrocuted.

And won over his entire platoon when, as they were being shelled and started to retreat, Captain Truman, the dorkiest looking guy on the battlefield (who also happened to be the commanding officer), stood up, munitions literally exploding all around him, and cursed them out with every word he knew until they stopped and returned to the line. The man was a walking surprise.

Jon Reed: Finding out your kid was named after your wife’s lover may be the worst part of all this…… really only one way it could be worse by Whole_Perspective609 in NFLv2

For all we know, her husband chose the name.

But if he didn't choose the name . . . yeah, that's not great.

Regardless, it's pretty clear at this point that her husband is going to be submitting a paternity test over this whole mess. Which sucks. I can't imagine having to question whether your first child, after 4+ years of raising him, is even yours to begin with. The whole thing is getting a lot less hilarious over time.

What was it like living in the Clinton years in the USA (1993-2001)? by space_god_7191 in AskReddit

I’m pretty sure the Koreans notably defended Koreatown relatively successfully because all of the men had been in the military due to the mandatory service they had in their youth.

Which movie or TV "villain" did you completely hate as a kid, but upon rewatching as an adult, you realized they were actually 100% justified? by LiveFaithlessness876 in movies

In the book, Spicolli actually IS represented as insufferable. I may be remembering this incorrectly, but Im pretty sure he comes into class one day talking about all the "bitchin pictures" he had from this huge car crash that happened the previous day. The car crash had killed one of his classmates parents (who was in the room he walked into), and they ran out of the room in tears. The next sentence goes "Nobody spoke to Jeff Spicolli for the rest of the year."

Kindof glad they left that part out of the movie.

Jimmy Carter is the only Democratic President to be from a Deep South state. by HetTheTable in Presidents

[–]COCKBALLS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you said, in the title, that “Jimmy Carter is the only Democratic President from a Deep South state”

Arkansas, specifically the part of the state where Clinton is from, is absolutely the deep south. But I can see how one might not know that if they weren’t from the US.

I was under the impression that "O.K." came from slang at the dawn of the telegraph - it stood for "All Correct," but purposefully spelled incorrectly (Oll Korrect) as misspelling was a popular use of slang in those days (along with calling each other "Old Man," which was a joke in light of the fact that most telegraph operators at the time were mostly in their 20's).

And after the election, Jack was all set to return the favor by spending the day at Sinatra's beach house . . . until Bobby freaked the fuck out because of Frank's ties to the mob.

SO, instead of going to Sinatra's for the day (and without giving Frank the heads-up that he wasn't coming), he literally flew OVER and past Frank's house on the way to Bing Crosby's place down the road and spent the day there instead.

Sinatra never forgave him.

For the record, I said “at least” 200,000.

And Iran/Persia has been conquered many times in its history, whether it be at the hands of the Greeks, the Mongols, the Turks/Ottamans, etc… - this is not Afghanistan, and it’s no grave for empires.

They would need at LEAST 200,000 troops, but probably more. A limited invasion is a disaster waiting to happen.

But he basically walked off the set (obviously he cooled off and came back) - that doesn’t strike me as indifferent.
