Doesn't anyone think it odd that

[saracat]

the day Reagan dies, Jimmy Carter has a nuclear sub named after him? Sort of poetic justice isn't it?

1. Thanks!

I needed that!

It's about damned time that President Carter was recognized for his military and academic background in this country!

2. Jimmy having a war toy named after him?

What is wrong with this picture?

[saracat]

3. Nope

He was a Naval Officer.Much more appropriate than Condi's tanker! Wait, now that I think about it ,maybe not! LOL!

4. A nuclear sub is good or bad...

only depending on how it is used, so, this is a good thing to recognize Jimmy Carter.

5. Yeah, OK.

Both of you cats are correct.

But I can see the good that would come about if this country would use all that money on technology to help people instead of killing and suppressing them. That is where I was coming from.

Carter puts his words into action and helps people directly. How many other ex-presidents have done that?

6. He was in that part of the navy but it does seem odd.

He is a man of peace. Subs can sure kill a lot of people and it does not go with Carter for that reason. Unless we look at them as keeping the peace. Republicans sure lap up the wars. Heck they did not even want to go into WW2 and who knows why they have become the war party.

7. and Clinton's book comes out

and Poppy calls a documentary filmmaker a "slimeball."

Big week for the ex-presidents.
