funemployment

A period of fun, after losing one's job, living on state funded benefits which will eventually run out. Best not to milk funemployment too much.

When people are having the time of their life living on funemployment, they should keep in mind the longer they remain unemployed the more difficult it will be to find a job. And the period after funemployment is anything but fun.

George W. Bush

According to most people who actually read and study history professionally, is by far the worst president of the US. Bush involved the the US in two quagmires in the Middle East on borrowed money from China, did nothing about illegal immigration and corporate outsourcing, and ran up the largest debt in history, and alienated most of the world. His lack luster efforts to reform education and social security went nowhere.

George W. Bush made Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon look like exceptional leaders.

Theodore Roosevelt

One of the finest Presidents in US history as he put the interests of the nation above his political party. Even though he was a Republican, TR fought against child labor and corporate monopolies on oil and the RR. He supported the Pure Food and Drug Act which helped keep contaminated food and beverages out of the supermarket. Through mediating peace between Russia and Japan and sending the Great White Fleet out for nationalistic and humanitarian purposes, TR proved the US was a major player in global affairs.

America has not had a truly great president since Theodore Roosevelt.

John Adams

Under rated and under appreciated near great president between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Adams was an honest and brillant president who established the American Navy and resisted attempts by partisians to push the young Republic into an unnecessary war. Putting integrity over politics, Adams kept many of the previous administrations appointments to the cabinet and other government offices. This proved to be a mistake as many of these officials mainted their loyality to Alexander Hamiltion and worked to undermine the Adams administration from with in. When Jefferson defeated Adams, in the election of 1800, it marked a peaceful transition of power. Something unheard of in most of the world at the time.

In recent years, historians have revised their view of John Adams.

Scotland

Magical land of rugged highlands, misty castles, white sandy beaches, verdant green landscapes, endless stone walls, dotted with sheep and age old cottages to the north of England. With its meteor showers and northern lights, the night sky in Scotland is truely beautiful. Through the ages, it has produced some of the most brillant writers, philosophers, scientists, inventors, and actors in the world.

Scotland is distinct from England, as it has its own history, literature, legal system, educational system, building style, and heros.

Sean Connery, David Tennant, and Karen Gillan are some of the finest actors to come from Scotland in recent times.
