@fontana I find it hard to comprehend that after Hart, D. only choice. But Dole and McCain puzzle, too. Your national politics are weird.

@vanden What's a yuppie?

@speeddefrost Well played. You've made me feel old and creaky.

@alpacaherder @vanden Wait, you're saying I'm a professional? Nonsense. We all know I suck.
-
@speeddefrost 1980's term of disparagement for money seeking shallow people who were willing to send too much for imported water.
-
@fontana Tongue in cheek, or serious claim. I've evidence in use in Canada in early 80's, but wasn't yet a teen, so may be off a bit.
-
@fontana Pfft, Hart!? Mondale was GREAT. Is it any wonder he carried Minnesota?
-
@fontana Thanks; I accept claim. The stereotype I had in mind was the kind of person who would have agreed with Gordon Gecko, not vote Hart.
-
@fontana Months back, I listened to this: http://www.cbc.ca/rewind/2010/12/yuppies.html. Now, streaming only. But, nostalgia hoot.

@fontana IIRC, the beef was smuggled to Iran by Ollie North to trade for cash to fund Nicaraguan Papists. But I was barely in gradeschool.

@vanden It's amazing that an Alzheimer's-addled bad b-movie actor with a chronic verbal tick & jet-fuel dye-job doesn't make your list.

@fontana Fawn Hall was the religious hump-ee, right? By the guy who was married to Bozo's kid sister?

@joshix While I feel about the same as you, he wasn't a puzzling candidate from the `are you trying to lose?' perspective.
-
@fontana Good point. I never did see them all in the same place at once!
-
@joshix And, be fair. The man was ahead of his time. He knew the trees were out to get us.

@fontana That's even funnier if I imagine Norm MacDonald saying it.

@fontana Was Ken Starr ever informed?
-
@joshix He was the first choice for Bogart's role in Casablanca. There's an alternate universe with one terrible film in it.
-
@vanden Considering "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" I fear there may actually be infinite alt universes with only 1 decent film between them.
-
@joshix Or as MST3K put it better: "Never show a good movie in the middle of your bad movie."
-
@joshix Not heard of it. But, how could a film staring one Wanda Cannon possibly be bad?

@joshix early 30s. by the 40s, most of the New Deal was pretty well accepted, and he hated that.
