I guess now it'd be "Urine the Army, Now!" I remember grampaw singing the old ditty:

“You’re in the Army, Now!”

I guess now it’d be

“Urine the Army, Now!”

My immediate--and I mean instantaneous, split-second, speed-of-light--response to this story was to think, So these are the same folks who were outraged when Rudy tried to <i>withhold public funding</i> for dunking Jesus in urine. Not only was it a Good Thing to display a crucifix soaking in p**, it was such a good thing that we taxpayers had to pay for it. So if we've got soldiers at Guantanamo dunking the Koran in urine, I say this is just another case of Your tax dollars at work.

"the first time in decades, teenagers had the wherewhithal to enjoy life" There's the key I think, our own success is our own demise. Adversity builds character, or something like that :-) Good link Buddy, and good rebuttal.

The Brits missed out on the 50's altogether and went from the 40's to the 60's mid decade and for us the 60's began in 1963 with JFK's assassination and ended in 1974 with Nixon's resignation. Which, in turn, made the 70's a mercifully short decade (it sucked eggs). The chronology is interesting.

I certainly could have done all that myself--you're a true gentleman. Mr. Jasper tells a lively tale. Considering the rogues gallery of players through the years (seeing those names all in a row could make your eyes bleed), I shouldn't claim surprise. But Jimmy the Cheese stands alone for that final little twist. And I'm not sure I knew that the actual handover didn't occur until 12/31/99. But then, I can't say I knew (or at least remembered) much of anything about this. Why thank you, Buddy. I certainly could have done all that myself–you’re a true gentleman.

Seems the bill started rolling under LBJ, continued under each succeeding administration, and was finally marked up and signed by Jimmah. Here’s a comprehensive–if partisan–history.
