Delving through yearbooks across the decades, we're constantly reminded of how the names for the political parties flip back and forth about every 60 years. In 1901, the democratic party fought for "free beer, free lunch, no work," whereas in the 1960s and 70s, of course, the democratic party fought for worker's rights: as in the yearbook page pictured here, "I vote democrat because I work for a living." Today, it has all flipped again, with the democratic party again promising free beer, free lunch, and no work.
