In order that you need not click on the link, I’ll point out some choice winners… just for you. Okay, we have three-time winner FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt). Some feel he was a great leader… but well, a tad power mad don’t ’cha think? And then his successor, Harry S. Truman who not only needlessly nuked the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but also established the CIA… he made it twice. Time’s essay on Truman seems rather skimpy on the accolades. Winston – "But I shall be sober in the morning." – Churchill also made it twice. Hear! Hear! I’ll drink to that… and drink… and drink… and driblikn… nd…
Okay… it’s morning. Where was I? Oh yeah… let’s continue with Time’s list. Here’s that good All ’Merican Patriot… LBJ! The man who BBQed Vietnam! Every year on LBJ’s birthday, we have a memorial BBQ out back in the swamp. I always make sure to light the coals with about five gallons of gasoline. Nothing beats the smell of Napalm to get the gastric juices flowing. In a gesture to recognize the fine work of pyromania worldwide, Time chose Lyndon Baines Johnson twice. Tough luck, Colonel Kurtz.
