    Couldn’t he just have some Berlitz cassette tapes to play while the old barber cut his hair?

    Based on some of these stories, how long until the Chuck Norris memes morph into Jimmy Carter memes?

    Let's see Chuck survive nine years after a brain cancer diagnosis at age 91.

    Jimmy Carter was such an American Chuck Norris asked to play Jimmy Carter.

    Brain cancer came for Jimmy Carter, and Jimmy Carter told it to wait its turn. Brain cancer did as it was told.

    Was listening to a bit of Fresh Air tonight, reairing Carter interviews. My goodness it was good hearing him talk, the candor (he needed to write a memoir and sell some of his businesses to pay off debts), the humanity, the intelligence. The lack of bullshit and apple-polishing.

    Perhaps Carter's last "gift" - passing during a holiday week allowing networks and newspapers to run all of the stuff they've had in the can for years, filling airtime and pages during a generally slow news time. I also like that for Carter's sake. Sure, his passing would have been well covered regardless, but happening now - there really is no other competition. On the national or local level.

    I’m sure the chairs were OK but boy those Plymouth minivans are sure built to last.

    They were right about Korean cars, just 25 years early.
