BOY, THE WAY GLENN MILLER PLAYED.

GUYS LIKE US, WE HAD IT MADE.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
AND YOU KNEW WHO YOU WERE THEN.
GIRLS WERE GIRLS...
AND MEN WERE MEN!
MISTER, WE COULD USE A MAN LIKE HERBERT HOOVER AGAIN!
DIDN'T NEED NO WELFARE STATE.{note: click this and the following pics to enlarge. they were taken on our recent vacation in the great depression room of an old mining museum}
EVERYBODY PULLED THEIR WEIGHT.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS!

Click here to see Archie explain why the energy crisis of the 1970's was all the democrat's fault. This was around the time President Carter told us to turn down the winter heat and put on sweaters. Carter urged us to seek alternative forms of energy, offering rebate programs for solar/wind/etc in an effort to wean us off the oil teat. But you know, he was just some loony dem gov from georgia, soon to be replaced by reaganvoodooeconomics, bushvoodooeconomics, bushvoodoowar and some clintoncentrism (go along to get along) somewhere in the midst of all that voodoo. Seems much of Archie's fuzzy logic is alive and well in the McSenile/Failin campaign today!

ps, Carroll O'Connor played the Archie character so well that not many people realized he was true blue liberal in real life. Kind of like what Steven Colbert does today.
pps, DivaJood and Utah Savage have challenged me in a musical meme (25 songs I would put on my IPod if I had one). Still working on that. Border Explorer sent a Brillante award my way. Still working on that one, too, along with worrying about WaMu (see post below).
