Sinatra It Was a Very Good Year - The Monday Morning Memo

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year.
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights.
We’d hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen

“A Speaker of the House of Representatives who believed in slash-and-burn politics erased whatever civility once existed in our capital. He preached that harsh language could win elections; in 1990, when he ran a political action committee, he taught candidates to use a list of words to describe members of the opposite party. These words included “decay,” “traitors,” “radical,” “sick,” “destroy,” “pathetic,” “corrupt” and “shame.” So as we look back to the second half of the 1990’s, here is the question: When he taught that, did he teach a good thing?”
