Is George W. Bush the worst president in U.S. history?

There is .. one extremely simple measure of who is worse, summed up in the question that antiwar demonstrators asked LBJ back in the 1960s: How many kids did [he] kill [each day]?

Site-Flavored Google Search: add search to your site that brings up somehow more relevant results

Basically, it's a good search box that's "biased" towards a certain type of result, i.e. politics or movies or stocks, as determined by you in advance.

Overheard

“We were addicted to the intensity of our hunger—the almost limitless depths of it—and to the certitude that we were needed, that we were vital.  Such a feeling is not as wonderful as the condition of being loved, but it is similar, with its dependencies, and far more reliable.”

...who said it?

“When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities.”

...who said it?

“From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.”

...who said it?

“Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart”

...who said it?

: “If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.”

...who said it?
