Oh, I'm sooo not going to miss this guy. His unrelenting pursuit of executive spooge and the First Cum Stain were early indicators that one of our major political parties had departed the rails. Unfortunately, it only got worse from here. Much worse.

Starr only went for the affairs after his years long taxpayer funded search for evidence to support his conspiracy theories found nothing (in fact what he found proved Clinton wasn't engaged in anything illegal).
PS I also find it deeply indicative of his personality that Starr was heavily involved in a cover up of sexual assaults and rapes by athletes at Baylor University where he held chair.

Louise Fletcher, the actress best known as Nurse Ratched in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,' and her work in Star Trek.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Her Kai Winn character on Deep Space 9 was such a hated, contemptable bitch! I remember lamenting once that I couldn't reach into the television screen and strangle her, lol.
She was also in Brainstorm, a lesser known but very interesting movie where Natalie Wood made her last appearance and Christopher Walken actually played a good guy.

And a surprisingly funny turn in ‘The Cheap Detective’.

Back to your regular programming.
Back when I was teaching high school physics and math, two girls in the 9th grade were passing a note back and forth. I didn't catch them during class, but whoever had the note last forgot to take it with her. It's just litter, I picked it up, and read some of it. One girl wrote about Coolio's song (I'll paraphrase the lyrics because I can't be arsed to look them up), "One, two, three, four, get your woman on the floor..." being stuck in her head. There was other stuff about what I was presenting. The next day, I mentioned that passing notes back and forth instead of paying attention to the lecture was a sure road to a lower grade. One girl was outraged, "How dare you read our note!?". I told her that anything I find in the classroom is fair game for inspection, and a sure way to not have me read it was not to write it in the first place...or not leave it behind. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I would have posted it on the school bulletin board - with commentary....
