I am really enjoying the theme/design of your web site. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility issues? A small number of my blog audience have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any advice to help fix this issue?

Can I simply say what a comfort to find someone who actually understands what they are discussing on the net. You actually know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people have to read this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised you're not more popular given that you most certainly possess the gift.

Admiring the time and energy you put into your site and detailed information you present. It's great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same unwanted rehashed information. Great read! I've bookmarked your site and I'm adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.

Actually, you left out Vietnam under Kennedy's Foreign Policy. Kennedy was the one who introduced combat troops into that country and, believe it or not, didn't have an "exit strategy" like the Democrats said should have been in place before we invaded Iraq. It's easy to tell who is old enough to have known about Kennedy versus those who have been spoon-fed from government schools. Kennedy really was not a very effective president.

No, really, Kennedy was OK. I just get tired of the gushing Kennedy biographies. And Nixon, whatever people might say, did have some good qualities. That's all.

I left out Vietnam under Nixon's Foreign Policy. I'm surprised nobody mentioned it.

You really thought he was that bad Tom? He was at the very least an inspiration to a lot of people wasn't he? You said you're moderate, but I'm not sure that I have seen you say anything good about a Democrat yet. Not that you are obligated of course, but just wondering what your leanings are. *;-) I'm a Dem, but I actually saw W do something I thought was good today in urging a halt to Israeli settlement expansion.

Who cares who Kennedy slept with when Nixon screwed the rest of us?

Kennedy: Made people proud of the presidency and the country; thwarted Soviet expansion (nukes in Cuba) that would have destroyed the notion of containment.

Nixon: Secured officed by appealing to the worst in America (middle class euphemisms for racism); continued a lifetime of lieing and deception while in the White House; violated his oath by committing and concealing his crimes; embarrassed the nation at home and abroad and permanently damaged the reputation of the nation and the presidency.

Yes, unfortunately the train crash was right near us, just a couple of counties away.

What if Dahmer was a member of the Clean Plate Club? Were you, Maven? No? Now, do I put that down in the "Good" column, or the "Bad" column?

I wouldn't be so hard on JFK if there weren't all those gushing biographies being churned out by WGBH Boston. It's bad when you get a more accurate picture by watching Mayor Quimby on The Simpsons.

Hey, I just saw this story. Isn't this your neck of the woods Tom? http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/04/11/train.crash.ap/index.html

Well, its a whole lot easier when you are only allowed to pick two characteristics for your comparision. I have a feeling someone could compare Jeffrey Dahmer -vs- me, and pick two good things about him that are bad about me, and make me look worse than a serial killer. :D

Is that really Kennedy's only legacy? Hmmm...

[Tom McMahon]

But everybody does that!

You should have used "resigned in disgrace after committing crimes while in office."
