how about the discussion at the web page (below) Having Fun during the Depression
Although the 1930s was a time of great hardship, people still found ways to have fun. For many during these years, having fun didn't have to cost much. Everything was homemade â the food, the games, the music â there were even homemade portable dance floors. But traditional organized activities â like rodeo and football â were popular as well.
Neighbors got together to play cards and other games and to talk. Church socials and school programs gave people a chance to visit and maybe meet someone new. Soda fountains and local dances gave young people a chance to enjoy themselves and to go on dates.
Popular culture was alive and well at the movies and in music and dancing. Children read about Superman in Action Comics and followed the adventures of Flash Gordon, Dick Tracy, and Terry and the Pirates in newspaper comic strips. Adults loved to read about the exciting lives of rich people in big cities. Newspapers ran stories and pictures about high society events
stories and pictures about high society events.
Mildred Opitz describes what "fun" meant to her as a newlywed in the 1930s, how neighbors gathered and shared their musical talents, and how people found ways to have fun for free. Alvin Apetz says they never felt poor because "you made your own entertainment." Entertainment was one way to leave behind worries about crops, weather and money.
The radio connected country people and gave them an ear to the world. People liked listening to sports and news, as well as jazz and swing music. Singing telegrams were popular.
During the 1930s, football was almost as popular with Nebraskans as it is today. High school teams were sources of pride for entire communities and the University of Nebraska team was becoming a national force. D.X. Bible had been hired as the University of Nebraska football coach a few months before the October, 1929, Stock Market crash. Under coach Bible, the team won the Big-6 conference championship six years in a row. Many Nebraska players were tough young men who had grown up on dirt-poor farms and small towns.
In the late 30s, the Federal Writers Project captured the spirit of Nebraska football.
"Football in Nebraska is more than a diversion for college students. A State university game is an event talked about and eagerly followed by rural and urban fans. If the day of a football game is not too cold or rainy, the streets of Lincoln are sure to be jammed with people and cars, brightened with pennants and chrysanthemums. The highways are crowded for miles around. Broadcasts of games are picked up in almost every store and gas station from Omaha to the western border; farmers sometimes neglect their cornhusking in the afternoon to hear the game over the radio." -- Federal Writers Project (FWP) Guide
In 1936 Coach Bible moved to Texas and was replaced by "Biff" Jones, a U.S. Army major. In his first season, Biff's team was ranked 9th in the new Associated Press football poll (1936), and they continued to do well. On December 1940, the Cornhuskers were invited to play in the Rose Bowl against second-ranked Stanford University. The team played in front of 92,000 screaming fans, the largest crowd ever to see a live Nebraska game. In a hard-fought game that included a fractured shin bone and two players knocked unconscious, Stanford won 13-7. The Stanford coach praised Nebraska's team as "the toughest we met this year." After only five years as head coach, Biff Jones was called back to West Point at the beginning of World War II.
Rodeos were another organized entertainment activity that remained vital through the Depression. Rodeos showed off some of the skills of cowboys who lived on the ranches in rural Nebraska. Interest in rodeo competitions began early in the settlement period and remained widespread across the Great Plains and West. One of the most popular rodeos was and still is hosted by the small town of Burwell, Nebraska. Again, the Federal Writers Project captured the spirit of rodeo in the 1930s.
"Rodeos held in various parts of the State when local finances allow (as in North Platte or Burwell) still attract good crowds. Purses, if high enough, draw excellent riders from all over the West. When Indians furnish part of the entertainment â generally with dances and ceremonials â the smell of dried meat hung out on lines in their camp is pungent and unforgettable." â FWP Guide.
there are some "hot links" at the web page along with pictures
How is Oaama the worst President when 9/11 happened on his watch and he never caught Bin Laden?
he also started 2 unfunded wars, gave big money for Socialized medicine and spent like crazy while giving the wealthy big tax cuts and everybody else for that matter tax cuts.
he also got no respect from world leaders.
Answer
Clinton apologizes for allowing Al Qaeda to gather strength during his administrationâ¦well he should!
So then Bill Clinton a man who was busy seducing a fat intern while Al Qaeda launched itâs war on the United States has the sheer audacity to claim that President Bush has forgotten about Bin Gone. Oops I forget its an article of faith with the cowardly left that Bin Laden is, one still alive, two relevant even if he isnât a collection of dust finding its way to hell. Watch and learn kiddies if you want to be a world class liar then you must make up the most outrageous sorts of lies. And Bill âthe meaning of isâ Clintonâs only legacy to the country is his legendary ability to tell people what they want to hear no matter how far away from the truth he must stray.
Bill Clinton accused President George W. Bush on Friday of having âforgotten about our hunt for bin Laden,â and told Newsday the presidentâs Iraq policy had spawned swarms of new terror recruits. Speaking during his first New Hampshire appearance with his wife, Democratic candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former president agreed with a recent intelligence report indicating the al-Qaida terror organization has regrouped to pre-Sept. 11 levels. Bill Clinton slams Bushâs Iraq plan â Newsday.com
So then letâs review what was going on during the time that Bill Clinton was finding the right size cigar for his overweight internâs secret places. This partial list does not include such fun little items like the attempted assassination of Former President Bush. The full list minus the assassination attempt can be seen at of Powerline

* February 26, 1993: Islamic terrorists try to bring down the World Trade Center with car bombs. They failed to destroy the buildings, but killed 6 and injured over 1000 people. (Editors Note: it did not fail by a large margin. Had it succeeded there would have been no warning and upwards of 100,000 people might have died. Also note that there were two main bomb builders, Ramsey Yousef and Abdul Rahman Yasin.
Ramsey went on to attempt to down 11 US Aircraft and Abdul Rahman Yasin after being interviewed by the FBI was released and immediately flew back to Iraq. Where ABC News interviewed him. All of his expenses were being paid by the Saddamâs Iraq. Course Cigar Boy wants us to believe that Saddam is irrelevant to terror)
1993 World Trade Tower Bombing
What is truly fascinating about this report is that there is NO mention of ABDUL RAHMAN YASIN the 2nd bomb maker that the FBI interviewed and then released. Wouldnât they want to let us know that he went back to Iraq?
* December 11, 1994: A bomb explodes on board Philippine Airlines Flight 434, killing a Japanese businessman. It develops that Ramzi Yousef planted the bomb to test it for the larger terrorist attack he is planning.
* December 24, 1994: In a preview of September 11, Air France Flight 8969 is hijacked by Islamic terrorists who planned to crash the plane in Paris.
* January 6, 1995: Operation Bojinka, an Islamist plot to bomb 11 U.S. airliners over the Pacific Ocean, is discovered on a laptop computer in a Manila, Philippines apartment by authorities after a fire occurred in the apartment. Noted terrorists including Ramzi Yousef and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed are involved in the plot.
* June 25, 1996: The Khobar Towers bombing, carried out by Hezbollah with Iranian support. Nineteen U.S. servicemen were killed and 372 wounded.
* November 17, 1997: Massacre in Luxor, Egypt, in which Islamist gunmen attack tourists, killing 62 people.
* August 7, 1998: Al Qaeda bombs U.S. embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya, killing 225 people and injuring more than 4,000.
* December 14, 1998: Ahmed Ressam is arrested on the United States?Canada border in Port Angeles, Washington; he confessed to planning to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport as part of the 2000 millennium attack plots.
* January 2000: The last of the 2000 millennium attack plots fails, as the boat meant to bomb USS The Sullivans sinks.
* October 12, 2000: AL Qaeda bombs USS Cole with explosive-laden speedboat, killing 17 US sailors and wounding 40, off the port coast of Aden, Yemen.
Maybe, just maybe a list like that might, just might, have given a less centered person a hint that as the leader of the free world something needed to be done. You know besides sending the keystone cops after Bin Laden and such. After all Bin Laden declared war on the US on Clintons watchâ¦and Clinton did nearly nothing about it.
