Don't know much about history, redux
I have mentioned my history background many times. Although a history major isn't exactly career-focused for the 21st century, I believe a grounding in history is invaluable. You gain an appreciation for other cultures and societies, you develop a contextual structure to analyze and understand world events and are generally prepared to understand a complex modern world--with some glaring exceptions.

And he is president and has owned several successful companies---what about you?
Oh dear.
I thought that one stood on its own!
And Schmidlap says that it is elitist to believe that there is an Idiot America which gets their news only from media propaganda machines?
That's it boys, we're giving up. Can't argue with that.
Yeah, successful. He made lot's of money. Screwed over others, made deals with terrorists. Success. Just like our victory in Iraq. "Mission Accomplished!" woo-fuckin-hoo.
Rabble, "elitist" doesn't mean "wrong". :-)
I would love the Anonymous commenter to enumerate the "successful" companies Chimpoleon has helmed.
I also like the implication that Shrub is President, and Pete's not, therefore Pete can't critique. That would mean there are, what, four living men who could criticize the President?
As I recall, the only thing he didn't drive into the ground was the Rangers, and that was because the gummit used eminent domain and bond offerings to build him a new stadium. With Harken, and a little insider trading, he should have gone to jail.
Schmidlap - there's probably only three men who have the mental capacity to be aware that they're criticizing Bush, but I'd rather have the quickly decaying mind of Gerald Ford in office, anyway.
Pete - that just means that he's better at running a sports team than, say, whoever the hell owned the Expos.
