This Is How You Looked In 1990, America
This isn't sports, beyond a Mets kid and what I believe is a Randy White Cowboys shirtsey. But it is America, in the summer of 1990, as pictured at your local mall. As someone who wasn't old enough to be dressing myself in 1990, I can say: shame on you, past people. [How To Be A Retronaut]...

Barack Obama Is An Irresponsible Anti-American Frat Boy, According To Pro-American Internet Commenters
President Obama filled out a March Madness bracket earlier in the week.
