  1. Are we talking about the Battle of New Orleans? Because the Peace Treaty to end the War of 1812 was all ready signed and making its way across the pond. Even if Jackson lost, that treaty would have been ratified by Congress and the war ended on the same terms.
  2. Punting the inevitable civil war to later is hardly "saving the county." Unless you count it as saving the county from himself, considering his disposition he'd be more likely to take things out on the losers than Lincoln was.Further, as a slave owner, how likely would he have been to issue an Emancipation Proclamation? So I guess punting the civil war down was better, since I doubt he would have resolved a major cause of it.
  3. Looks like you found it!
  4. It makes a lot more sense for Hamilton to be on money than for Jackson to be on any dollar bill.Really, the only good thing I can think of that Jackson contributed to US history is a kick chull attempted assassination attempt on his person.
  5. Ouch indeed!Another thing to avoid is placing a knife in a sink full of soapy water. Some idiot use to do that at a previous work...not good.
  6. I prefer "for all extensive purposes."
  7. It's official. Kaymyth has to ask Brandon why he "hired a cannibal pumpkin" at a public Q & A. And Brandon has to respond: "RAFO"
  8. This contest is bound to cause mass hysteria, like a group of badgers fighting over a sausage egg McMuffin.
  9. Well, Quick E. Cat is up and about after his teeth cleaning. He's doing all this three hours before most cats even awaken from the procedure, like a boss!
  10. I was going to ask: who's ever heard of a Wal-Mart that closes?
  11. Well, maybe if of his anti virus program didn't suck so bad, he would get some recognition! Possibly even good recognition!
  12. I'd settle for having a villain as opposed to a mere obstacle.
  13. Then he has all ready lost! Mwahaha! What befuddles me, and insures my victory, is why he simply wouldn't call the cops? Local law enforcement is, like, my one weakness.
  14. Ford Maddox Ford's Parade's End.
  15. James is easily handled. I'll just toss him a pile of papers with hundreds of digits, tell him that's the product of two large primes and challenge him to factor it...unless he's chicken! Bawk! Bawk! And if that doesn't work, we'll have an old fashioned glaring contest. I was trained by cats, so I like my chances!
  16. Why do you think it's happening there? When the cat is gone, the mice come out to play!
  17. Well, you are a gargoyle... My peeve is actually the opposite: people somehow TRUST me with their children no matter how much I scowl! If it were possible, I'd switch our issues.
  18. Something to keep in mind: it seems that only seons and skazes are separate pieces of Devotion and Dominion. As far as I can tell, the remaining splintered portions are combined as the Dor. As a result, I doubt Trell is Dominion...particularly since reassembling him/her in one of the Elantris novels would seem anticlimactic. Such an event like rebuilding a Shard seems better suited to a "main series" like Mistborn is the Stormlight Archive. Now, that said, that does not rule out a Selian group using Selian magic to further their sinister Selian ends. This would not necessarily contradict WoBs on the subject and have the advantage, to me, of being far more interesting then of Trell ended up being Odium or Autonomy.
