lucy

Sarcastic, malicious dark haired girl from the Peanuts comic strip and animated TV specials who was an absolute bitch to Charlie Brown. Frequently offered to hold a football for him to kick, but would always pull it away at the last second, resulting in his flying through the air and landing flat on his ass. Was madly in love with musical prodigy Schroeder, though he barely noticed her. Occasionally ran a psychiatric booth (with a copay of five cents), though Snoopy was her only patient.

Charlie Brown should have put anthrax in Lucy's Hawaiian Punch.

Hee-Haw

A hillbilly variety show, which aired from 1969 - '91, first on CBS, and later in syndication. Famous for reinforcing the most negative, backwards aspects of country music, as well as the world's largest succession of thoroughly unfunny jokes, not to mention a smattering of gingham-clad T&A.

Convicted criminals should be sentenced to watching "Hee-Haw"

jimmy carter

Thirty-ninth President of the U.S., seving from 1977 - 81, and most likely the last U.S. President with real integrity we will see in our lifetimes. Though he was unable to solve a number of domestic issues, he was a true world leader and put human rights on the map. Brought back dignity, decency and respect to the Oval Office, after the Nixon scandals. Deservedly won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

History will judge President Jimmy Carter well.

Lucy was always funnier when she was in black and white.
