A golden era where newscasters didn't have to parse the seven dirty words to determine if they apply when presidential candidates say them?

Whether the president using the term "shithole" made the term "shithole" acceptable on the 5 o'clock news?

When Sean Hannity had nothing more important to rag about than mustard?

When "Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin and Kid Rock" was something in Cards Against Humanity, not CNN?

Got a friend. He mixed Omarosa on the Apprentice and mixed her again on Big Brother. In between she was the "Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison at the White House."

If I begin to catalog the things that I miss I shall never finish.
