Sunday Talk: Let's do the time warp again!

At this point in 1916, as the Great War raged across Old Europe, incumbent Democratic president Woodrow Wilson was locked in a tight race for re-election.

In the end, he was able to eke out a narrow victory by utilizing all of the country's horses and bayonets to put Humpty Dumpty together again.

Yes, the world was a much simpler place back then.

Old-timey English was the official language of America the beautiful; jive talk had yet to be invented, as did Social Security and Medicare.

Young women who didn't want to give birth to their God-gifted rape babies could seek treatment in the nearest back alley, and African-Americans weren't voting based solely on skin color (if they were able to vote at all).

Those sure were the good old days.
