After all, you have to admit that we haven't exactly set the world on fire yet. Let's take a quick look at some of the features of our generation, what we've been able to offer to the world thus far. Contributions such as...uh...hmmm. There's so-called "alternative" rock, you know, music so edgy that you'll only find it on no fewer than four major radio stations at one time.

Garry Wills said in his piece "Leading by Leaving" that Clinton should resign. I strongly disagree.
