January 16, 1951

[catbirdseat]

I was replacing an old window to my upstairs bedroom and found some old newspaper stuffed inside the wall as insulation. The house was supposedly built in 1951 and the newspaper was dated January 16, 1951.

 

The Korean War figured prominently in the news then much as the Iraq War does today. When you think about it, both were and are proxy wars. It was China then, Al Queda and Iran now.

Yeah and back then when the military went too far Truman fired MacArthur's ass, but today the line between military and government is gone.

Ditto for the distinction between reasoned discourse and hyperbole, it seems.

 

Booga-Booga.

Truman had balls, Comparing Bush and Truman kinda puts in perspective how bad of a president bush really is.

It was China then, Al Queda and Iran now.

 

 

And soon enough, it will be China again.

[G-spotter]

America will not go to war with China until Wal-mart has someplace else to buy cheap shit from and mark it up.

[ZimZam]

That would be the economic miracle about to take place in Zimbabwe.

Naw, China has already won that war. They own us!

Are you suggesting that Canada isn't part of the United States?

A friend of mine, a woodworker, said it was "tradition" that when you build "dead space" into a piece of furniture or a part of a house you should place a piece of newspaper or other similar item in the time capsule. He would place a piece out of the tabloids, thinking it would hold greater interest over the years.

 

What do you think: would a 1951 tabloid have held more interest? I think a "straight" newspaper is probably a better long term momento.

[No. 13 Baby]

Dude as you can see, KKK rides a walmart bike so you can just Kiss His Ass, clownpuncher!

I have some classified ads from 1951 as well. You could buy 25 acres up by Lake Stickney for $900. Houses like mine were selling for $8000.
