One thing's for sure, it won't be a quiet time.

Clinton's scandals, deaths of numerous public figures, Florida recount, Seinfeld's entire series, rise of the internet and personal computing, VCR's rise and then DVD's, microwaves standard in every home, cell phone explosion...

There are many more things that he has missed, but the thing that he did'nt have to sufferv through is 8 perverted year of the klinton's.

Maybe if no one tell him about them he can stay blissful of their existance.

Great news first thing in the A.M., best of everything to you and your loved ones. Hope you make a complete recovery and enjoy a long happy life. God bless you.

Mercifully, he missed Clinton. Unfortunately, the smell still lingers.
