Of COURSE I noticed! The flats, the aggressive puff balls -- it's like the republiwife's version of the bow tie. <shudder>

I remember it from the time (the scar remains), but don't recall exactly... I have a feeling it was something to do with the Just Say No campaign. You can probably google nancy and mr. t and it'll come up.

I pity the fools who just say no!
