Blast from the past: Boston Globe “special section” on Clinton Impeachment

I’ve been gradually digitizing my paper files in alphabetical order, and today I got to the “government stuff” file. Here’s something fascinating I found there:

I’m not sure why I saved this. I suppose I thought it was a historic moment of which I might some day appreciate having a souvenir. Little did I know that what I would appreciate, stumbling upon it nearly 30 years later, is the halcyon days when lying about a sexual relationship with an intern was nearly enough for a president to be removed from office.

Of course, the GOP’s hypocrisy hasn’t changed at all. To say that Donald Trump’s misdeeds while in office have exceeded Clinton’s is to lie by understatement, and yet the GOP passed up two attempts to remove the twice-inpeached felon from office, and they continue to toe the line as he daily commits treason and works to destroy America.

Nevertheless, back then I could not possibly have conceived that this is where we would be today. My, how things have changed.

Anyway, should you happen to be curious, below is the full eight-page special report on Clinton’s impeachment from The Boston Globe. Or you can download it from here if the embed is too small to read.

Ahahaha. We got outbid on a rental ! Boston/Cambridge has to be the most anarchic, insane housing market I have ever seen. Scum property agents, greedy landlords, and dubious algorithms working together to exploit the vulnerable as much as possible. I am not sure how most of what goes on is even legal, and how papers like the #BostonGlobe don't report on it. Very shameful.
