    Today's Reagan's Birthday. They make a big whoop about it in California. Republicans fucking worship the guy. All I can remember is that he hired a kidnapper "Black Lightening" (Ted Patrick) to deprogramme cult devotees & converts to Hare Krishna & the Family (C.O.G.) & many others. These were adults whose families wanted them back. As far as I know Ted went to prison for kidnapping. I hope Ronald's Evangelical NoFun D Mentalism got him into the Pearly Gates, but I think most of these self-satisfied rich, church Christians are going to spend eternity in outer darkness for their lack of good works, such as helping the poor & shit. All I remember that he ever said was that the oil rigs in the Pacific looked like Christmas Trees. Well, too bad the Exxon Valdez was too large to shove up his Republican Moneygrubbing Butt although he was one of the biggest assholes I remember ever being President. But, hey--we've got one who makes up his own words now. Iran, Iraq --hey, there was only one letter difference.

    Like Bush Jr., Reagan was a puppet. CFR Daddy Bush was the one running that administration.

    Wow--thanks for that toon! I vaguely remembered Iran Contra but forgot most of the other disappointmenting moments of his tenure (which I'm sure his Republican fans will gladly do!)

    Ronal Reagan proves that humans are perfectly willing to ignore the suffering and deaths of others as long as they're 'unsavory' (I'm referring to HIV/AIDS pandemic, which initially was primarily ((and in some ways still is)) affecting IV drug users, blacks and gay men).
    He also proved why this little idiosycacy can have a catastrophic impact.

    Here's a quote from my cousin in response to the toon I forwarded to her:

    "That's a good one. When my ex-husband went to jail during the Reagan administration - you couldn't get social security benefits for your kids because they were considered nothing by this great guy. No other president ever did that - just him. So my child support ceased forever. He was a hypocrite. His son seems nice. "

    I made sure to walk past the place where they were celebrating his birthday in the town I was in. I yelled, Fuck you Reagan, I hope you fucking burn in Hell!" Later some of the homeless guys told me they were serving free wraps there.

    Hmmm, don't think I could go back there, though, without being recognized. Hey, Ron must surely be gone if they are serving shit for free!

    I find it strange that we all tend to skirt the main issue. Who knew he was sick and when did they know he was sick? And was he just used to fit an agenda? I think so. I think others were actually manning the whitehouse.

    Alzeheimer's doesn't happen quickly.

    Yeah--look at GW--An empty shell if I ever saw one. It seems the gov uses these kind of folks. Look at Lee Harvey Oswald (Patsy) & then Jack Ruby (Cancer). Hey--did you see the mug on that guy who claimed to have killed Jean Benet Ramsey? What--didn't they throw the mold away when they hatched Oswald? Fuck!

    Regan was a fag and I think he may have liked John Wayne a bit too much -
    He had the intellect of a dogs arsehole and his politics that came out of that intellect stank like the shit you'd expect them to

    He never truly recovered from the gunshot wound at the hands of John Hinkley.

    Yeah, showing our cleverness by insulting the dead is the best way to remember Regan.

    It might be a bother to try to figure out how such a anti-labour president as he got such support from the workers of this country. What was it about his image that resonated with the working people? What did he offer that Mondale didn't? Are the working people of this country so stupid that they didn't see where firing the air traffic controlers would lead? Or did his rhetoric appeal to something more important to them than their jobs and paychecks?

    I guess that's too tough. Let's go back to cleverly exploring the obvious stupidity of a man who was a two-time Governor of Ca. and twice elected President. I'd say the first sign of his Alsheimers (funny illness, giggle) was when he tear-gassed the UC Regents. (tee hee)

    Saturday Night Live did a sketch in the heat of the arms for hostages scandal with William Shatner playing Oliver North. There was a choir of men behind him singing 'The Mute Marine' (sung to the tune The Green Beret). The lyrics were:

    He traded arms, to Iran
    For hostages, what a great plan!
    We'll never know, just what he's seen
    the man they call, the mute marine.

    They had the little bouncing ball and the lyrics going at the bottom of the screen through the whole song.

    Shatner stood silent through the whole thing.
