In 1970, Nixon met with Elvis. In 1971, he took America off the gold standard, finding a third way between GoldVsSilver.

Hmm. I hate to give Nixon the credit for finding the third way, but I guess he did do what all those populists wanted back in the day. Nixon took the U.S. off the gold standard on August 14, 1971. Big XP bonus to anyone who can figure out the cosmic significance of that date. [Rob]

It's your birthday. (I'm all bout the points baby. Hoping to level-up and buy some more ranks of OccultKingship! Woo hoo!) [Chris]

Doh! Chris is so smart. [Bryant]

Heh. Sorry, it just fit too well. Reese votes Republican, too. [Bryant]
