Dole Kemp 96 Web Site (opens in new tab)

Die Eier Von Satan (also 1996)

If I don't forget, maybe I'll make them this weekend! I should have all the ingredients already.

100% and please post pictures too.

Clicking on the modem opens a page with an email or two from Clinton.. and audio files of him talking. RealAudio files, hah!

I'm old enough to remember "Buffering...".

I got the snapshot to load and it appears that at that point it was being sat on by scammy domain parkers, complete with promises of scandalous celebrity photos and dick pills.

Hey, Dole is progressive! (GIF)

> I think about this episode so much

Same.

"Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate."

"Go ahead, throw your vote away! Hahahahahaha!"

(Ross Perot punches his hat)

Violent crime plummeted throughout the 90s because abortions was legalized in 1973, 17-27 years before 1990 and 2000, respectively, roughly coinciding with the early adulthood period where a vast majority of criminal offenses are committed, the offender having the freedom of an adult without the fully formed prefrontal cortex of one yet.

The fetuses that were aborted were overwhelmingly from socioeconomic demographics (e.g. poverty, single mother households) where they would've been statistically far more likely to become criminals, so by allowing that generation to be aborted, we effectively aborted (for the first time) a large chunk of an entire generation of people that would've been statistically overrepresented among criminals, entering their peak criminal years right when Bill Clinton was president.

This broadly attributed to the infrastructure spend of the internet and greenspans new “unlimited productivity in the digital age” realization — which Clinton did agree to, but at the price of the promises he made

Beg pardon, but I can't quite make out what your point is. Dole/Kemp lost, but they get credit for the Clinton-era economic boom, which is well known to have been stronger and lasted longer than the more famous Reagan-era boom?

It’s not as central to the GOP platform as it used to be, though. Really ever since the “War on Terror,” their messaging has mostly been around whatever the enemy du jour is. Small gov’t was a paleocon thing and McCain, maybe Rand Paul, are pretty much the last of them.

Bob Dole was the first and last Republican I ever voted for. I still think he was kind of a fun guy, although it’s good that his candidacy failed.

Sounds like you would be served well reading a book or two: https://www.amazon.com/Coolidge-Amity-Shlaes/dp/0061967556

Tiling was all the rage in '96. Mostly because you were running on 8MB of RAM.

Hmm, not sure why I can't access it then. Anyone else unable to reach it?
