how in the heck is this mention right here only the second mention of Jimmy Carter itt? every day since Barbara Bush kicked it I've been waking up expecting to see his name in the headlines
also, hadnt checked up on ol' Narvel Felts in the last few years but he's apparently still not dead yet, which is cool. He's famous right? Should be
