Seriously he's got his looks and demeanor when you think about it.

But I want the credit for it!! I just thought of it today sitting in my Macro-Econ class it's so true though just think of the cartoons you could make outta this comparison.

And to top it off tell em that an ex-libertarian converted to the Dem party came up with it.

4. I mentioned that movie to some twenty year olds and they looked at me...
with total bewilderment. That movie was made, what, 60 years ago? A great film but somewhat dated.

6. I'm 22 and I happen to love that movie

One of Cappa's best, "Bedford Falls" in my opinion that town was named after a combination of the towns of Niagara and Bedford (I lived in upstate NY for awhile)

9. Heh, that's cute

Hey while we're on this subject if I remember correctly didn't Jimmy Stewart become a bomber pilot in WW II and I believe he was decorated as well. I can't remember the plan he flew which I feel very ashamed of for forgetting but it was a B-25 or B-29 I think.

Someone help this young punk out if you know I feel so stupid for not remembering.

Used that for years
I often say Potter represents the Repugs and George Baily the Dems.

Drives some Republicans crazy.
