WARNING!! <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

There are 61 days left before the Ides of March<\/strong>… don’t say I didn’t warn you! <\/p>\n

Look… if only Julius Caesar had paid heed the course of Western Civilization would have been altered. First, he<\/em><\/strong> would still be here. Next, Rome would still be a huge power… sandals would be OK in the work place, no confining under garments for women would still be the order of the day, the menace of Communism would never had appeared, “double coupon” days would not be limited to Wednesdays, not only would we be on the moon — there would be a Coliseum in the Sea of Tranquility (which would have been named the “Sea of Mirth, Merriment & Slaughtering of Extraterrestrials”), baseball would be played in periods instead of innings (the losing team would immediately be put to death), and Christie Brinkley would never have been allowed to marry Billy Joel. <\/p>\n
