Bill Clinton was President and Al Gore was Mr. Vice Prez. Bill Clinton is personally my favorite president, so i feel secure knowing that I was brought into this world under his reign of power. Even though Bill Clinton is known for some racy things and got impeached, I think he should be better known as the guy who helped get us out of an economic hole. <span style="color: #ff00ff; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"> SPORTS; <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"> - Super bowel <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"> That night was a very nerve-racking night for my step dad. He's very strange, being a Cowboys fan being born and raised in Chambersburg when everyone here is usually a Steelers fan. He finally earned his respect though when the Cowboys won to the Steelers 27 to 17. He can wear his cowboys jersey with pride! <span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"> -World Series <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;"> This is probably one of the most intense games on the face of the planet, ever.

They won their third World Championship that night. How amazing?
