Hard to believe there were 13 presidents worse than Nixon.
Whoa, did someone just strike my nerves. That would be Jimmy Dean along with every other company that thinks no one's paying attention when they increase their prices by lowering the net weight of their product. 12oz sausage, 14oz chocolate, 11.9oz beer. 11.9? W.T F.? And ask my cats how they feel about 5.5oz meals all of a sudden. The list of stuff I've stopped buying is legion. As is the list of stuff I now buy from someone other than my local grocery store. Pretty soon the local store will be reduced to an occasional stop in. By the time they realize the issue, it will be too late. End of rant.
Poor James Buchanan gets no respect. Never. Jeez, surely Trump has to be worse than him?
"Before Joey Chestunt" should read "Before Takeru Kobayashi". The 131 pound Takeru is the one who changed the food eating sport. (Around the same time, representing women, is the 100 pound Sonya Thomas, also known as the "Black Widow").
Unfortunately, it appears that even though Takeru helped make the Nathan Hot Dog eating contest world renown, they told him that he can't compete anymore unless they are allowed to control his competing career, so he no longer enters their contest.
By the way, Takeru and Sonya made a commercial together:
