We have two cats who are brother and sister, and for a while they really liked each other, then decided they hate each other. And now they hiss at each other whenever they get too close. A very sad falling out, apparently.

I don’t know what you’re talking about…the Flock of Seagulls haircut is heinously rad.

What about Antoine Louis? Invented guillotine (called a “louisette” originally), and executed by said device.

Or, really, most of season 5.

How could this list not include “20 Hours in America”? Josh, Toby, and Donna being stuck in Indiana, regularly getting broken down and lost, and actually dealing with real people (most of whom don’t like Bartlet) is wonderful. Donna’s smackdown, telling them that real people in the real world are struggling and don’t care about how campaigns are playing in Washington, is one of the best in the series. PLUS the whole “the streets of heaven are too crowded with angels” montage is beautiful.  

Yeah, this may or may not be true. By the time of Reagan’s second inaugural, the economy was back in overdrive (7.2% annual growth). This time, it’s not (2.7%). Not arguing that Obama hasn’t done a lot legislatively and that he’ll certainly be remembered as a president ‘of consequence’. But, for Obama’s policies to ‘stick’ in a way that Reagan’s did—for America to truly move left in a way he’d like (especially economically)—I’d argue he has to leave office with a similarly recovered and booming America. That’s what ultimately convinces people that you were right and future politicians should follow suit. Obama simply hasn’t done that yet.
