Seen SOTI, this intriguing little question:

Note too the reference to Cuba.  Then this:

Someone tell James Cameron… and speaking of getting it wrong:

Still asleep, apparently.

Finally:

  1. Third paper down – you made that up right?

    Middle column.. “They bring with them their foreign religion of Catholicism.. rumors are swirling that the Irish are attempting to institute Catholic rule in Dearborn Michigan.”

    Kind of sounds like today with another ethnic group “homing” in on that same geographic area. Poor ole Paddy O’Rourke.. 6 years after the target date (1892 + 125 = 2017) for his lament about hoping others get the same “rough treatment” we are greeting all comers with flowers and food stamps.. Well except Canadians – those bastards can fend for themselves!

    What a wacky future we live in..

    1. Third paper down – you made that up right?

      Someone did. The font doesn’t fit. In fact, all the text fonts look wonky.

      Ah, I grew up in a house that subscribed to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Back when a town could have 2 major papers, and one of them would be Republican.

      Turns out, both were lying to us anyway.

  2. I would just like to say that I used to really like Walmart before it got woke leftist stupid execs.

    And I truly _miss_ Woolco/Woolworths. And getting Celebrity canned bacon at KMart. Those two stores were staples of our childhood, and Woolworths got surplus guns and ammo! Swedish Mausers!
