It all comes down to being just a good old fashioned bribe, hush money for the masses, the Cornerstone of Capitalism and Free Enterpise.
All things being equal, what is wrong with that?"

I remember that debate well, now that you mention it. But I didn't know you actually shook Tricky Dick's hand!
OH MY GOD. That photo (or should I type, Fauxto), is now on my desktop slideshow.
Did you know that Elvis actually wrote Nixon asking to be employed as some sort of agent for the gov, to battle drugs and whatnot? He really had it in for the hippies. Read the letter if you can find it; it's pretty amazing.
Yeah, I think this photo is nixon recognizing Elvis offer. I actually snagged it from APOD last year, and had a buddy photoshop it for me. it came out great!
