Can’t speak for Little Rock, but I can tell you that no matter what the courts might have said about desegregation, the schools in Lynchburg, Virginia were still segregated as late as 1963.

There was no oxycontin in the Hindenburg?

I’m not sure you could read all the posts in this thread, at least, all of my posts in this thread, to miss the high possibility that I did not really mean to make a conclusive argument that Clinton was a prevaricator. One might go so far as to say that I was parodying the standard practice of the right.

At least it’s good to know that I don’t have a reputation here.

[nitpick]The Hindenburg was a zeppelin, with a rigid internal frame. Blimps don’t have a rigid frame.[/nitpick]

Yet another difference between Limbaugh and the Hindenburg.
