They were talking about World War III, not World War II.

And it was not the general public talking, either. It was a bunch of hoity-toity intellectuals. What struck me as so funny, and so gruesome, at the time was that they were talking about "saving" a civilization that could not possibly have survived the kind of nuclear exchange they were talking about. (This was no one-sided Nagasaki or Hiroshima.)

Oh well, I guess you had to be there...

I have a feeling I am never going to feel nostalgic for the 90's, either.

Impeachment hearings will distract our President from his important national duties:

Washington Times:

No compliment

The Republican National Committee outdid itself yesterday, faxing out press releases headlined, "Congratulations, Mr. President!"
The occasion? Well, we'll just let the partisan press release speak for itself:

"You've hit the century mark! TRIPLE DIGITS! One for the record books.
Today you have hit a grand total of 100 FUND-RAISERS in 1998!
No president in American history has spent so much time fund-raising!
And, you were able to squeeze in a total of two meetings with your Cabinet in between your partisan money-grabbing!(Once to lie to them about the Lewinsky affair, and once to apologize for lying to them.)
One Cabinet meeting for every 50 fund-raisers ... "WHAT A RATIO!"
