comparing him to either the Coronavirus (COVID-19) or the Nazi takeover of Paris is one of the best cases of comparing apples to oranges that I have ever seen.

I soon expect to see people comparing Bernie Sanders to the Zombie Apocalypse, Roller Disco, P90X, and Tae-Bo.
People in the news media, when you make analogies, try to make them relevant. Bernie Sanders is a politician, but not a Nazi. So, try to remember that framework, OK?

We had no internet, no cable TV, only 5 TV channels, and no videogames besides Pong, Space Invaders, and Asteroids. So, there was tons of dancing, biking, swimming, roller skating, listening to music, and hanging out.

The movie "Dazed and Confused" was so much like my life in junior high and high school that it was just plain scary.
