Nice piece on Jimmy Carter:
Jimmy Carter: 'We never dropped a bomb. We never fired a bullet. We never went to war'

He may live a modest life in a one-horse town, but Jimmy Carter, now 86, retains his global vision. And 30 years after leaving the White House, the peanut farmer turned president is still a man on mission. In Plains, Georgia, we found the 39th US president full of energy… and determined to make a difference

I learned a few new things, too (The Blairs have NINE houses?!) Thanks a lot for posting this.

4. I guess you could say that President Carter is my favorite person in my lifetime
Even the picture of him pissing over the side of his fishing boat or the killer rabbit episode doesn't faze my feelings. :-)
It was during his term that I realized the :puke: are after blood and would stop at nothing to get it.
Yup Jimmy you can be my President anytime you want to, yup sure can.
