It is a particular sort of attribute.  They were not all terrible, I did not mean that.   And I presume Biden is not there because he is only on his first year, so this attribute would not be determinable.  Perhaps it is useful to ask why Nixon is not omitted.  More than that I cannot say.

My assumption is that the book was published prior to Trump's election.

Got it.  Yep, Harding and Nixon are included, even though terrible in some ways.  But you look at the omitted ones and its clear that it is not necessarily malfeasance and character issues, but something more...quantifiable. 

Cool puzzle.

Yes.  It is helpful to know that Trump could have been included if the puzzle were more recent.  I will post what I think is the common feature over in Fitness and Nutrition, a location useful for not accidentally stumbling over it.

Cable news rating note



Americans flocked to Fox News for information and analysis as the network topped both CNN and MSNBC every single weekday hour by double- and triple-digit percent advantages during the final quarter of its 25th anniversary year.

Mahfuckah talking about cable tv ratings while one his partys heroines is spouting prelude to genocide rhetoric..

ACHTUNG BITCHES!


The Georgia congresswoman went on a tear earlier on Wednesday, accusing the Democrats in power of running a Communist regime.

Yes our foundation is infested with freedom killing termites, our agencies are running a regime change on our own soil like they have done in foreign countries for decades, and the all powerful propaganda machine is serving the regime...but their lies and tyranny are failing them, Greene wrote.

Debate over a vague national divorce is a symptom of the hyper-partisan environment that is reaching nearly every facet of American life, from the economy to medicine to education.

And according to a CIA adviser who monitors nations in danger of slipping into civil war, that kind of conflict may hit the United States sooner rather than later.

During the Holocaust, Nazis referred to Jews as rats. Hutus involved in the Rwanda genocide called Tutsis cockroaches. Slave owners throughout history considered slaves subhuman animals. In Less Than Human, David Livingstone Smith argues that it's important to define and describe dehumanization, because it's what opens the door for cruelty and genocide.

FLORIDA -- Surpassing all-time #COVID19 high with hospitalizations surging like clockwork behind the case rise. Some claimed Florida was as "herd" and #Omicon protected because of recent July-September #DeltaVariant wave. This looks unlikely.

Your gullibility quotient is really high, Kid.

This is an Emergency Doctor by training and practice who has been arguing against mandatory vaccinations for medical professionals since they were put in place, insisting that we are paying insufficient attention to those with "natural immunity" to COVID-19, and bunches of other positions that run against whatever the Biden administration has recommended or required.

The Fox story has errors in it, as well, but I am not going to bother with those, either.

Oh, Dr. E? He just happens to be a Republican, also. I am sure that is a coincidence.
