Party Like It's 1993

I'm continuing to work on the archives. The latest changes: 2005 and 2006 now have titles and appear in reverse chronological order. Also, the 1993 stuff from my Chronicle Features period is now online for the very first time.

It's a period with interesting parallels to our own: a young conservative Democrat had just been elected with high expectations after a Bush had messed up the economy, which continued to suffer for several years before the dot-com boom caught fire.

  1. I saw this variations of this cartoon draw about 45 times this election season. I guess you beat them to it by 15 years.

  2. I remember this "change". That's why I didn't get all manic about Obama's "change this time around.

  3. I actually heard a guy on liberal radio say

    "Obama will have a lasting impact...Remember Clinton?, he made a lasting impact..."

    Democrats are un-psychotic republicans.

    Expect half measures.

  4. At this point people are just hoping Obama will put things back the way they were under Clinton. Seven-plus years of incompetent fascism have set the bar for improvement very low.
