Remember the good ol' days

When John Mitchell's wife Martha was constantly trotted out by the press via the Nixon Administration as a representative of crazy and unstable -- only to have been found to be telling the truth? [Probably not, even I was just a kid then]

Well, nowadays, of course, the opposite happens, and it's OKIYAR?

A few days ago, Brandeis University professor Anita Hill received a message on her voice mail at work.

“Good morning, Anita Hill, it’s Ginny Thomas,” said the voice, “I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband. So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. Okay have a good day.”

Hill didn’t think the call was real.

But, naturally, it was real.

Clarence and his wife are a real piece of work. Thank goodness he's got a lifetime appointment.
