It's the economy, stupid

Is it any wonder the administration is trying to focus attention on Iraq? Poverty in the U.S. jumps. Meanwhile, consumer confidence falls and the recession is worse than thought, but never mind, Bush says, and oh by the way, it's all Clinton's fault anyway.

In the "I didn't need to know that" category, here's an answer to the question "how disease-free is my coin laundry?" Believe it or not, these sorts of questions were also being asked in 1902, although then the issue was the relative health merits of a "walking" versus "trailing" skirt. Will someone please show me a picture of a trailing skirt?

Well, this would be trailing - as would this. And, here is a good sampling of both - or at least in my interpretation. All links from The Costume Gallery. Hope that helps.
