the military-industrial complex
I like Ike.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Yeah, but whatever Nixon's contemptible qualities, he also was more liberal than John Kerry if you're into that sort of thing.Dr. Medulla wrote:The last sensible and wise Republican president.

Re: the military-industrial complex
True, very true. I've long maintained that Nixon, like LBJ, wanted to be FDR more than any other president. It was under Nixon that the EPA was initiated and he supported national comprehensive health insurance. However, personal flaws and slimy tactics bled too much into his administration. Smart fucker, too.eumaas wrote:Yeah, but whatever Nixon's contemptible qualities, he also was more liberal than John Kerry if you're into that sort of thing.Dr. Medulla wrote:The last sensible and wise Republican president.

Re: the military-industrial complex
Ike may well be one of my favorite Presidents, specifically because if his farewell address. Here was a Republican and military man putting the country first with a real warning. I know a few military guys who have found big paydays in the MIC after leaving service.

Morbo: Tonight's debate features Puny Human #1, Puny Human #2, and Morbo's good friend, Richard Nixon.
Nixon: Hello, Morbo. How's the family?
Morbo: Belligerent and numerous.
Nixon: Good...Nixon's Pro-War and Pro-Family!

But my favorite Morbo moment is when his wife is fixing his tie and he's muttering quietly along the lines of "Stop it. Stop it. It's fine. Stop it. I will destroy you."
Morbo MAY be my favorite ancillary character. Not just in Futurama, but ever.
