Recant? Never!

In my last post, I wrote that Hoover said "normalcy" in a speech that addressed The Great Depression. I left out "Great" at first, by the way. Must've been a Freudian slip. If you think about it, no depression is ever great. What were they thinking? And, now that i've had time to think it over, Hoover's blunder probably occurred in his inaugural speech. Or maybe it was during his campaign. I'm no historian. Or political scientist. Heck, come to think of it, normalcy probably was a word before his incumbency. I'm no etymologist.
