I could swear it was the 8th. Huh. My bad. So much for remembering that dissertation.

We’ll be hearing about Bush II for the rest of our lives as people discover more and more about horrors that we currently don’t even know about.

We WILL have another president even more corrupt than Nixon and Bush. I think the government will continue to become more and more corrupt.

But hey, when I'm 72 a giant comet is going to smash into the Earth so.. eh, whatever.

That's right.
But he left town (it was for real) on the 9th.
That pic is from the 9th.

Despairingly, Bush has neither the wisdom nor the inclination to go that route, and the rest of us must reap his shameless whirlwind.

Whew. Holy shit, I just endured a web conference, and all I could think about was how in God's name I locked the 8th in my brain.

I'm so tired of that trite analysis.
The reason Nixon could go to China is cuz we were at war with Soviet satellite North Vietnam. China hated the Soviets and the N. Vietnamese. Any President waging a war against Vietnam could have gone to China.

It's not impossible that someone without Nixon's anticommunist credentials could have normalized relations with the PRC but it's pretty unlikely.

When I inform someone they're wrong about something, and it turns out they aren't, the logical thing to do would be admit it.

For your information, everybody at the Stranger thinks I'm stupid. I'm okay with that. It is good.
