Not in the 80s but in the 70s definitely. It was exactly the same thing as Reagan.

In the third week of taking the waters at Warm Springs (1818) Jefferson developed boils on his buttocks. (The 50+ mile ride to the spa plus possibly unsanitary conditions there may have predisposed to the illness.) As may be imagined, his homeward return ride was a trial. Once home, for several weeks he conducted his correspondence lying down. He did not ride a horse for several months. "Jefferson always believed that this experience had greatly injured his health" .

Almost every night, Taft's military aide, Major Archibald Butt, would write a letter to his sister-in-law. Published after the death of Taft, these unique and honest letters provide a window into even the smallest parts of a President's life. Poor Butt, who died on the Titanic, spares not even himself when he relates how he slammed a car door on the President's hand and, on another occasion, drove a golf ball into the President's thigh

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Republican National Committee is expected later today to launch a four-week Ohio campaign that will focus on outreach to and mobilization of black voters in advance of the November 2016 presidential election.

The campaign, called "#CommittedToCommunity: Engage, Empower, Uplift," includes a partnership with Radio One/TV One, which caters to a black and urban audience. It will begin today with faith-based outreach in Columbus and will end Aug. 6, the date of the first GOP presidential primary debate

What does Orlando Watson (RNC Black Media Communications Director) say about his population

quote:

"People are talking about the convention, and the debates. People know about the Republicans coming to town," Watson said. "If nothing else, black voters are curious: 'What are they talking about?' ... We want to give them those opportunities to find out."

How will you outreach?

quote:

The RNC and the media company will host events, including a concert series and community issues forums, in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus. The GOP also is buying advertising that will begin on July 20 on Radio One stations, which include in Cleveland WENZ 107.9 FM, a hip-hop station, and WERE 1490 AM, a news/talk station.

So what bands do you think will be at the Black GOP Outreach concert series?

He said Tonette cited this as proof that it's best to listen to your wife.

WHAT. You don't lose hair in a classic "genetically inherited crown bald spot" pattern from getting a bump on the noggin.

Is he just ashamed to be losing his hair in the same way most everyone does? Trust me Walker, it's a lot better than getting your widow's peaks at 19. At least you can get a piece real easily for a bald spot.

In five years of Walker I've seen exactly one photograph* where he doesn't look absolutely loving horrible. If I can remember where I saw it I'll post it.

It's not a matter of him being unphotogenic either, he looks just as awful in person.

It's mostly due to him being an empty suit willing-no, eager to do whatever the Kochs tell him to. Like, even more than other Republicans.

I wouldn't say he has no charisma - listening to him, he seems to exude a certain Midwestern folksy charm.

I honestly think he's got a very good shot of winning Iowa, and quite possibly more beyond that.
