"Was it Over When the German's Bombed Pearl Harbor?"
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 01:39 PM by zaj
"We must accept finite disappointment but we must never give up infinite hope." – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.



(Credit the Center for American Progress for thinking of those two quotes when sending out today's email.)

4. Am I missing the meaning?
I'm going on the assumption that you know the Germans didn't bomb Pearl Harbor... what is the implied meaning of substituting Germans for Japanese?

Apologies in advance I'm the only one not familiar with this quote.

12. It's an "Animal House" reference, Goose.
John Belushi's character had about as strong a grasp of history as * does.
