    Warning Will Robinson!

    Feel free to post comments, rants, or even personal attacks. It simply shows your wish for taunting if you do the latter.

    You can say anything you want here. But if you get stupid I reserve the right to point it out, call you lots of inventive names and laugh like hell.

    PostHeaderIcon "Lady Bird" Johnson has passed away

    7/11/2007 | Posted by kender | Edit Post
    Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson (December 22, 1912 – July 11, 2007) was the wife of former President of the United States Lyndon B. Johnson, and was First Lady of the United States from 1963-1969. From infancy she has been known as Lady Bird.

    As First Lady, Johnson started a capital beautification project (Society for a More Beautiful National Capital) to improve physical conditions in Washington, D.C., both for residents and tourists. Her efforts inspired similar programs throughout the country. She was also instrumental in promoting the Highway Beautification Act, which sought to beautify the nation's highway system by limiting billboards and by planting roadside areas.


    I have always admired her simply for the fact that she pushed limiting billboards at the side of highways. She feared, (rightfully) that eventually the roads would be lined with billboards and the great views of this wonderful country would be spoiled.

    Godspeed Lady Bird. Rest In Peace.
