This made me laugh today: (emphasis mine)

An embattled, recently-elected Democratic president delivers an address to Congress to resuscitate his health-care initiative. Reports on new fall fashion call for "vibrant colors, longer skirts and asymmetry." And a TV network whose desired demographic might buy some of those fashions runs the program premiere of "Melrose Place." It's the '90s all over again.

The parallels -- and the perils -- are eerie: President Bill Clinton, elected by remembering "it's the economy, stupid," makes the dumb mistake of outsourcing his health-care bill, only to see the woman who came to represent it torn apart by talk radio. Substitute the first lady with the first female speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi, and President Obama finds himself having some of the same unhealthy political problems. In fashion, The Wall Street Journal notes this season's new looks "channel the late '80s and early '90s," which the industry hopes can pull it out of a nationwide shopping slump.

Better bust out the flannel shirts - I can stay ahead of the curve this time!
