Isn't Clinton Baby Boom?
ETA: And W. for that matter.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Well, Clinton is who I meant by the eight years, but you're right - I plumb forgot about W. Apparently my brain is already trying to expunge him.
In sum: 16 years of Baby boomer rule. If Hillary had won, it would've been at least 20, maybe 24.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yes to both. Hec, by "Baby Boom" do you in fact mean "born at the same time as me?"
ETA: blast! You cross-posted reason at my snark! I am defeated!
Although the most common definitions I've seen of the boomer generation have it ending in either '62 or '64, in which case Obama fits in at the tail end.

If you meant Clinton, now I'm confused. Obama is technically Baby Boom too. So the Baby Boomers will have had at least 20! Enough I say! Bring on Generation X!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had a stealth boyfriend for a while. That was embarassing to cotton onto--many years later. Which is perhaps why I am so tetchy about individual stealth dates. There was even a guy who was giving tips--"Just ask her out for dinner as a friend. She'll go!" right in front of my face. Passive aggressive poor loser dick. He swore it wasn't a date. And then sent me a soppy email just as soon as he got home.

Great news, Sophia!

Our wings are not tired.
I hadn't heard the expression Stealth Date before, and ugh.
Shiny report, Sophia!
Go Baby Boomers! I've heard many ranges applied to the Baby Boom, but all of them include my birth year.
I'm still a bit stunned about my mother not voting for Obama because he was so Young and Inexperienced. I personally remember how enthusiastic she was over Jack Kennedy. I let her know how I felt about that argument.
Sorry about the job nervousness, Kristin. Doesn't help moral in the workplace much.

I am still hoping that the Obama girls will go to public school, as Amy Carter did. Signed, Daughter, Grand-daughter, Great-grand-daughter, etc., of public school teachers who is appalled at the way the US of A has allowed public schools to falter.
I have an appointment at 10 a.m., which meant that I'm still at home. My DH biked the dog into her daycare this a.m. using the new puppy trailer [link]
He just called to say that she settled down for the ride, but he's not sure we won any points with her.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
he's not sure we won any points with her.
How could a pet not think riding in that is awesome?
