tejek. You said...." As for Carter being the worst American president, conservatives love to make that claim. In any case, Mr. Bush has him beat."...

You may be correct. But you know good people can make some big mistakes.


You wouldn't be suggesting that I am making a mistake; that you know more about my country and my people than I do?

As for this...." Its geez, not "gees"!"....

Dictionary shows only the word " gee " No " geez or gees so I guess you can spell it anyway you wish. :-)
Course that's only the Oxford dictionary.


Which version did you use......the Bush edition? Trust me, its 'geez'.

And anyway SI spell check shows your version to be wrong. :-)

Because its slang. Its a variation of jees which was short for Jesus......according to Websters, its considered a mild oath or expletive.

Again, according to Webster's, non Bush addition, there is no "gees"; however, there is 'gee' which means to turn to the right.

For a Canadian, you're rather pushy.........must be all those years living in Texass.
