[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] From the OED : <blockquote>"state, [i]n.[/i] ... 30. a. A body of people occupying a defined territory and organized under a sovereign government. Hence [i]occas.[/i] the territory occupied by such a body."</blockquote> So, you meant states, too. <blockquote>"I dunno...maybe the president 100 years ago was even worse? Quick bit of research turns it up to have been Theodore Roosevelt in the big chair from 1901 to 1909, so he would fit the bill for being the president 100 years ago...maybe he kicked puppies? Wiped his nose on his sleeve? Threw stones at old ladies? Littered? Really, the possibilities are endless."</blockquote> Well, he was a bit of a racist, but, then, who wasn't? Regardless, the phrase used above was "over 100 years". So, they could very well have been referring to someone earlier. I'm not sure who that might be, though. Grant? I mean, he was a drunk who had no political experience whatsoever, but that hardly makes him worse than Bush. [/QB][/QUOTE]
