jimmy carter



Did You Know?

--Jimmy Carter was the first U.S. President to be born in a hospital. He was also the first U.S. President to be interviewed by Playboy magazine. Coincidence?

--He has written twenty-one books, which I believe makes him the most prolific author of all U.S. Presidents.

--Was one of only four Presidents who never had the chance to appoint a nominee for the Supreme Court (this could have been avoided if he had simply had Justice Potter Stewart poisoned, to use one example).

--His father, James Earl Carter, engineered a special salve made from an exotic peanut blend and coated young Jimmy's chest with it every night before bedtime. This led to the development of various unexpected super-powers (super-strength, hyper-reflexes, infra-vision, and mind blasts).

In actuality, Jimmy's peanut salve was worthless. What gave it such extrodinary effects was that the peanuts grown on his family farm carried a latent strain of the Wild Card virus, that was unleashed by the salve process.

Or at least, this is how history can best explain Billy Carter.
