Liberals Used To Be Cool

Posted by Angela Valdez on Jan. 23, 2008, at 1:21 pm

Now, they're not. I think if they were a little less dorky, and threw cooler parties, they might have a little more success.

Compare photos from last weekend's dork fest throw-down, The Final Countdown: Ended of an Error (Heh, heh. Get it?) ...

...to my old man's mug shut.

Antonio Valdez was a student activist and a protester, and he dated some foxy ladies (including my mom). His parties in Portland in the late 60s and 70s were legendary, and perhaps notorious. I'm horrified, of course. But I have to admit he's cooler than this guy.

   Valdez, you're confusing liberals with radicals. Liberals were dorks in 1968, too. Judging from your dad's picture, I imagine he would have spit if somebody called him a liberal.
