Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

I'm reminded of fan-like giveaways that were once given to Superdome patrons depicting Rickey Jackson's face displayed upon the paper fan [blade], which allowed holders of same to rotate in their hand to fan/cool themselves. These fans always gave me a chuckle since I believed that Rickey's face depicted would scare the Hades out of small children seeing same, not to mention the adult possessors of same. Rickey Jockson to me was the meanest looking human being I have ever seen in my entire lifetime. To look at him within standing distance [either personally/physically or on a waving hand-fan] would literally put the fear of the Almighty into the beholder. I always thought that, if Rickey were to be confronted by a robber holding a gun/weapon, that same robber would simply throw down said weapon and run as fast as possible at the sight of Jackson. That is how Jackson played football for the Saints. He wasn't a hotdog or a glory-boy egomaniac, but he SIMPLY DID HIS JOB AS LINEBACKER ON EACH AND EVERY PLAY! He didn't get up from tackles waving his hands in the air or doing some riduculous dance move to call attention to himself. He simply brought the ball carrier to the ground, knocked down or intercepted the opponent's thrown pass, etc. If he was within three feet of a runner, it was LIGHTS OUT and the runner HIT THE DECK. Thanks and congratulations, Rickey, for the memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
