Reply to comment by ziipppp in Naval Academy Renames Building After Jimmy Carter by langis_on

> I heard a story where there was some disaster and Carter, gathered at his church, asked the assembled what should we do. Someone says “we should pray for them”. There’s a beat and then Carter looks at them and says “well I think that’s taking the easy way out”.

This is a real story. I know a few people in the Secret Service, although none that I know of who've worked his detail (although I suspect they may have due to rotation policies), and that was one story I was told that was passed around as an example of just how good of a person he is.

Very similar in Florida - but DeSantis just took a ton of money in campaign funds from Vegas casinos, so I suppose one of the things he might do before he tries to run for president is legalize commercial gambling here.

This time, unlike previously, Disney doesn't have enough money to fight this.

Don't forget Meredith and Ann. The four of them were the best commentators the parade had.

Which also carried over into a lot of iconic moments during the rest of the years... Can't really separate 9/11 coverage on NBC from him for example... That opening on the 12th was iconic.
