OH DEAR LORD, SAVE US - AT 10:37 A.M. ET:  There are reasons why rational people resent Washington:

Legislation making its way through Congress would turn the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site into a full-fledged park owned and operated by the National Park Service. It would expand the historic inventory of structures here, pumping new life and new money into the hometown of the only president from Georgia.

The structures that would be included are the old house, which Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter lived in years later, after his return from the U.S. Navy; brother Billy Carter’s gas station; and the state’s Visitor Information Center on the outskirts of town.

COMMENT:  We're sure the six tourists a year will enjoy it, and both North Korea and Iran will make contributions to its upkeep.  A Saudi visitor center would also be nice.

Urgent Agenda pledges to provide maps to get around the site without losing too much time.
