When Daria Met Bill

It was fifteen years ago today that the Beavis and Butt-head episode "Citizen Butt-head" aired, and Daria Morgendorffer got to meet President Bill Clinton and ask him a question (and almost got an answer). An excellent video of this encounter is at the above link, at least for the moment. Daria has some marvelous reaction shots and double-takes that have to be seen to be believed. The bored look on her face when the President is talking is great, but when Butt-head takes her microphone—ouch! A look that should have killed! And the Secret Service is in rare form, too (pity about Principal McVicker). Commentary appears here. Daria looks like such a little kid. Wonder if being short made her kinda mean. Interesting outfit she has on, too. Click on the pix for larger versions.

In some parts of this great nation it is Alaska Day. There was a story once in which Jane Lane went to Alaska to get away from it all (Wouter's "Trouble Walking: White Out"). Alaska Day must be the kid at Holiday Island High who wears a plaid coat and earmuffs.
