After the charismatic -- and disastrous -- Woodrow Wilson presidency, the voters did not elect another president in the next decade who could be considered the least bit charismatic. Let us hope that history repeats itself.

After Herbert Hooover, pretty much every US president elected has been charismatic. Let's hope history does something or other.
Yeah, I mean, c'mon Tom, with constant 24x7 video, interviews, debates, TeeVee, YouTube, radio, debates, speeches and the occasional responses to unpredictable events, any candidate that lacks charisma is going to be at a significant disadvantage...

OK, a decade is two presidents, the first of which was Warren Harding who was indeed considered charismatic.

Not that she actually masturbates, of course.
Oh, and speaking of Our National Pastime, the late night wrap-up on the MLB channel of course concluded with a summary of league standings, which of course meant the otherwise fine host could not avoid letting slip the ©liché "neck and neck," which has now caused me to become oddly focused on that bulging on Willard's "neck."
Needz moar swelling.
I'm thinking a robotic pulse, and then K-Lo's head bursting out, Alienishly.
Okay, I'll stop. Laptop's battery's about to die, anyway.
