1990 Florida passes a law prohibits wearing a throng bathing suit

So, you can't use a crowd as a bathing suit. What about a thong?

The Republicans, now called the Democrats, were as gullible about their admiration for the French Revolution as their twentieth-centruy descendants were about the Soviet Revolution.

In the beginning, the SCOTUS Justices also rode circuit to function as trial judges since the inferior federal courts hadn't been formed yet.

Thanks for the pix. Last night my son wanted to watch Blackhawk Down. It just made my blood boil all over again seeing that the Clinton Administration wouldn't let those boys have any backup, no armor, no Bradleys, no air support besides the vulnerable Blackhawks. And we had to go begging to UN blue helmet troops for help to get our people out.

Thank the Lord this administration isn't acting like that in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Interesting post. It's "the rest of the story" about the phony war with France at the time.

The Acts, along with a couple of other mistakes, probably cost Adams a second term. Of course, it didn't help that he broke with Hamilton and the High Federalists, splitting his own party.

Concerning the subject of today's Foxhole thread, I would like to quote Abraham Lincoln: "Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged." -- Abraham Lincoln
