Maybe you should explain the Moonbeam Duck Test again MB. There are some people here who are in obvious need of your enlightened guidance.

Johnson,Nixon,Nixon,Carter,Reagan,Reagan,Bush,Perot,Clinton,Gore were my votes so I can hardly choose among them. In retrospect I'd have voted the same. History will record the least among the best I think. But, Ford did not inspire... at all. He danced like a buffalo and stung like a flea.... gave me the itchey witcheys.

I only regret not having a chance to see Jerry "MOONBEAM" Brown give it a try.

 

[charrison]

I cant classify any of those men as evil.

I'll give you the idiots version Ultra Quiet because the full Moonbeam Duck Test requires some rather complex intuitive assay techniques and strategery that might confuse you. Put simply, if it talks like an idiot, it is an idiot. You can find your own way to a Bushisms page.

Got it. Thanks for dumbing it down for me so my feeble little brain can understand. I think I can do it now but if I can't I'll get back to you right away.

Oh no, UQ, you could, in fact I'm sure you do, possess a keen intellect and still not be able to perform my duck test. Intuitive perspicacity operates in another dimension entirely. It requires unlearning and actually becoming more like what most people, perhaps even you, would actually call foolish.

 

[glenn1]

You asked two different questions. The worst President is without a doubt Carter; he was just an absolutely terrible executive, but an undeniably good person. The greatest evil would be Nixon. I don't put him in the category of evil men like Hitler, Stalin, or Pol Pot, but he was undoubtedly the most paranoid, ruthless, and genuine SOB of the Presidents listed.

It does take significant exploration to derive a conclusion. The MB Duck Test is the framework for such an endevor. To simply use a null hypothisis to conclude an inferential question of something, in and of itself, is less than speculative. In the world of politics, however, nothing is all we sometimes have to use. When the truth is nothing then the lie must be the something. We deal with the lie and test it against the truth that becomes obvious in time.... often too late to evaluate. That is the game. The paradox of lies within the paradigm of examination. The enigma and the irony.
The MB Duck Test looks at just facts with out spin and determines the source and perhaps the motive... armed with this we can see the overall agenda from its pieces. Even the most obfuscated puzzle is made clear by the size and quantity of its parts in hand.. IMHO

Wow. More enlightenment. This is what it must have been like to study with Plato or Socrates or Galileo or Einstein. Your intellect, your insight, your ability to see through the extrania and mine the nugget of truth are clearly on a different plane than the rest of us. We are all truly blessed to be given the oppurtunity to study, to learn and observe at your feet. I am considering alerting the media so that the rest of mankind can share in our blessing.

THIS is diplomacy at its finest. I love it. Words that obliquely define a position are the most powerful... and often they display the most humor which is the final goal... to achieve oneness with same entity that created the giraffe and the hippopotamus and gnu.

Clinton. He didn't do anything except let terrorism run unchecked so 911 could have another special meaning to all of us who had the great joy of living through it. Oh, and boink the hired help. Good job!

 

[Zebo]

Harding or one of the Bushes tough call. I'm with the supreme court though, the mentally challenged can't be held to the same accountablity as "normal" folks so I'll say Harding.

Agreed ... I also voted for Clinton.

 

[etech]

Which is the greatest evil?

Cynicism.

 

[XMan]

I voted for Lyndon Johnson because, although he didn't truly believe that the US could win the Vietnam War, he kept sending men to die there rather than pulling out.

Nothing that any of the other top vote-getters did resulted in large numbers of American deaths like what LBJ did.

 

[Moonbeam]

Gulibility.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Tough one.

The 3 worst in no particular order.

Nixon- a bad person. Sneak, liar, felon if he had been tried.

Bush the Lesser- Started a war with no real justification. Lied to do it.

Johnson- The real one to blame for Vietnam and the death of countless thousands.


Hard-

I would say Johnson, then Bush, then Nixon.

ROFL

If I was drinking a Coke right now, my keys would be getting sticky.

 

[IamDavid]

I truly love the ignorance and stupidity of people these days.. How could anyone in there right mind say W is worse then Nixon? You idiots just keep showing your true ignorance.. I love it. Keep it up though, its shoving more and more people to the republican side!

 

[Moonbeam]

Better the Devil you know than the one you don't. Whose Nixon?

 

[BDawg]

The President who had poor towns named after him hasn't even gotten a vote...
