I really don’t want to pick on ex-President Jimmy Carter. Frankly, I am sure that what bothers him most is that no one really takes him seriously… even those I know who “like him.”
He’s not the kinda guy you would want to take with you as protection walking through a dark alley. At the first sign of danger, you’d know you were a dead man.
Every time I pick up the paper or peek into the web, I see Jimmy dissing some person here or there and you can’t help but feel sorry for the guy who no one will trust with anything scarier than a rabbit.
My wife is related to President Van Buren, the founder of the Democratic party and labled by many as the country’s worst president. However, I think her ancestor is off the look because Jimmy has closed the distance. Anyone who has lived through the ‘Jimster’ years of double diget inflation or the ‘walk softly and carry a big petticoat’ years of foreign policy will remember how we all hoped and prayed for a vigorous America. So, I have a hard time taking Jimmy Carter very seriously, he’s just so wrong.

I seldom blog on science fiction, but science fiction is a subject that has always fascinated and captured the interest of me and my family. Science non-fiction is valued as well.
