Jimmy Carter, Solzhenitsyn and the limits of the Phillips curve. Ooooo... scary, I'm not just kiddin' ya this time. Seriously kids, so scary it's not even funny.
I loved SCTV--much more so before it was bought by the US network and the gang had to censor themselves to fit into mainstream TV (they were much more iconoclastic and funny when they were nobodies here in Canada, imo). I was still pretty naive and didn't pay much attention to politics when Carter was president. But I do remember liking him as a human being and thinking he was somehow too "soft" to run the country. At the least, he was an intelligent, articulate man who clearly cared about the US.. And man, did he age over those 4 years!
