Deep Throat Revealed

I suppose I should say something about the biggest news of today -- Deep Throat's identity being revealed.

But I have absolutely nothing to say.

As I commented to Boyfriend this evening, for my generation, Watergate was like the Civil War. We recognize its importance as a watershed event in history that changed many things forever, but the event just seems so far away that we can't really emotionally connect.

The same occurences that were so shocking and transformative for the last generation, to people alive at that time, we take for granted because we grew up with it and never knew anything different.

Someday, some younger generation will look at 9/11 the same way. In fact, some of these people are already a few years old. Thinking about this makes me feel very old.
