    Flea treatments are only effective for about 60 days, then they start coming back. At any rate, saved by the blood of Jesus, thank God he is dead.

    I really hate media cause everyone has such nice things to say about him. granted hes human and hes made mistakes.. but lets be honest he was an idiot..
    I would insist his ashes be used to pave a pothole, least he'd be good for something..

    Ghost town with an airport so elite you can land airforce one..

    For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2007, the airport had 59,430 aircraft operations, an average of 162 per day: 64% general aviation, 29% military, 6% air taxi and 2% scheduled commercial. At that time there were 69 aircraft based at this airport: 38% single-engine, 6% multi-engine, 1% jet and 55% military...

    They did the same thing when Nixon and Reagan died. They don't mention the bad shit and war crimes they committed (i.e. Cambodia & Laos, Vietnam, South America, Iran, Iraq and Afganistan), or the other shit they did (Watergate, Iran-Contra) or anything about how they fucked the American citizen in the ass, but they talk about what great leaders they were. Hell, I thought they were gonna give Reagan sainthood when he died, as much as they were giving him a posthumous blowjob. And they still wanna put that fucker on the $10 and Mount Rushmore...

    See the problem is if you were alive at the time Watergate and Iran Contra were talked about constantly. It's not about presidents it's about respect to the dead, you don't badmouth someone the second they die, whether you liked them or not there are many people who did like and respect Reagan and the national media has to cater to that.

    I understand that, but just because somebody died doesn't gloss over the bad things they did in their life. Should people have gone on TV and said that they hope Reagan burns in hell? No, that would be in bad taste. Should we remember how a lot of the things Reagan did during his time in office caused a good chunk of the problems we are facing today? Yes. Show respect, but remember the truth. And our media in this country is basically a video version of People magazine. If we had had the media we have today back in the 1940s, they would've done a half-hour retrospective "In Loving Memory: Adolf Hitler (We'll miss you Addie)"

    It seems to me that it not such a step from cheering that a political opponent is dead to engineering the opponent’s death.
