Some Things Never Change

Chadd Wheat has a new column posted over at The Sitcom. Funny, subtle and slightly strange: all the things he evokes best.

He was helping clean out a grandparents house, and ran across some old family treasures. But he also encountered The Lebanon Reporter, circa 1970. Here's a teaser quote:

The Opinions page featured various editorials complaining about the President, the school board, and religion in Russia. Obviously some things never change.

Another refreshing thing about yesteryear: the television listings. No reality shows, except for sports. “I Love Lucy,” “Gilligan's Island,” “Wagon Train,” and “Andy Griffith”. There was no mention about “Who Wants to Marry My Midget Father's Chihuahua” on Fox. (In fact, there was no Fox network. Talk about refreshing.)

Funny stuff: give it a read!

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
