Bill!

So the other night Bill Clinton vouched for Hillary's character assuring us what a wonderful woman she is and how lucky he was to....

Yeah whatever.

I really don't know why he was speaking. Whether you're talking about the '92 and '96 presidential elections, the off year elections of '93, '94 and '97, or even 2000, Bill Clinton has no coat-tales. When the conversation is about Bill, Dems lose.

I don't care, I find myself nostalgic for his time in office. Sure he is a scoundrel, a rogue, liar, sex-fiend, pervert and overall sexual predator. The man ran a pretty good ship. Now, this didn't start until after the '94 midterms when he got grownups in charge like Leon Panetta and Robert Rubin, and had a GOP controlled congress to keep him honest. But those five years from '95 to 2000 sow mind-boggling economic growth and employments and the dot-com boom. That's when we all learned we could invest in the stock market ourselves and order stuff  online and deliver it right to our homes.

Personally I was living in Northern Virginia at the time, and one of my overwhelming memories of the period is air conditioning. From June to August you're looking at 95+ temps every day. Nights were beautiful though. Aesthetically the style sticks out too. I'm thinking of movies like The Matrix, or Fight club, the overwhelming presence of green-gray colors. Then there was the 70's revival, disco and bell-bottoms. Its the era when I permanently checked out of the popular music scene...

Ahhhh....
