My guess on 8Tracks is going to be more mid 70’s - I think cassettes were out by late 70’s

You have to see this: Michelle Nobama's brother looks exactly like her

Look down at the third picture - unreal. Oh and notice the quote from him regarding schools where their father said not to pick a college based on cost, but to pick the best school. He also went to Princeton - poor downtrodden?????

it's funny, i was just telling xsteen yesterday that when i was at Pitt, i would often leave my single dorm room to head over to the cathedral of learning in the evening to work on a paper without the distractions that being in my room would entail. she said, dang, mom, you didn't even have a computer, what could be distracting you in your room? i have no idea, but i was distracted and i loved going to the cathedral and finding a little nook or cranny to set up shop in

yeah, something about their upbringing doesn’t strike me as being all that humble as far as those things go. that is amazing though, they are very similar looking!

This stygian article by Camille Paglia exposes her contempt for the the "men" Hillary attracts to her campaign. A worthy quote:

the male staff who Hillary attracts are slick, geeky weasels or rancid, asexual cream puffs.

All in all, she sums Hillary and her "men" up quite nicely.

Lata folks......I am off to Miss Ava's where there is no computer for the day.

That’s called a “high fi.” My mom still has hers.

You may not have gone to college with a stereo, but you had a single room. That’s luxury. LOL

You think a well-rounded, erudite, charming, intelligent and humble person like me comes from a state school. ;-)

I’ll bet your two teen aged daughters would be. One of them is of legal age, so she can go if she can afford it.

well i figured it would not be credible to claim to be born as a poor black child to the son and daughter of eastern european immigrants!
