In honor of the evening's event

Bought via an ad in Mother Jones, circa 1987.

BWAHAHAHA! Treat him like he treated the country. Ah, Mother Jones, a magazine once of greatness (I read the best profile of Jimmy Swaggart I have ever read in an issue from 1988) that a friend of mine, a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist, described in 1991 or so as "The People magazine of the left". I used to subscribe to The Nation, but tired of it after a while. Strange enough, the only periodical I get now, besides National Geographic is The New York Review of Books, which I consider my own personal Sears catalog.
All that's off topic. Yes, indeedy, a Ronald Reagan doormat. Are they still available or would I have to go to ebay? My one piece of memorabilia from "back in the day" is a Geraldine Ferraro button from the 1984 election. It's in my sock drawer upstairs.
 
LOL.

Dude. I have a T-shirt from "The Mobilization for Justice and Peace in Central America and Southern Africa" that I bought, on the spot in D.C., exactly 20 years ago (almost; I just checked: April 25-27). It, along with six or seven T's now, is laden with political buttons, in my home office closet.

I went on and off of Mother Jones and The Nation. Now: The Christian Century and Foreign Affairs.
 
Oh, wow. The sock drawer ...

Nothing in my sock drawer but socks. But in the undie drawer ...

... Do Not Be Alarmed, oh Northern amigo ...

... I have a plastic bag of .38-caliber ammo, there to be in separate place from my .38-caliber pistol, in anopther drawew -- and there through five moves and 18 years. Wow. (Just checked: still there).

S--t. I'm. Old.
 
I forget which Dutch-want-to-be said it tonight, but they claimed that when Iran looked into Regan's eyes just after he was elected they were so scared they let our hotages go two minutes later.
Holy Hog Wash and Poodle Piss! What vomit be that!
 
A RW friend wrote via e-mail:

"Reagan: Remind me to knock knock you into next week for daring to show such filth on your blog. Commie."

And I wrote back:

"Piff. You should see what the righty-rights who lurk at my place say on their own places about FDR.
F--- 'em.

"Now, you know that while I voted against him, he scared the s--- out of me, and I think he broke tons of laws in Central America, that I still admire him, in retrospect, politics aside, for a steady hand as the Soviet Union was teetering. At least there were grownups in the Reagan administration."
 
"...steady hand..."
See Iceland.

Reagan's strength was he did not do stupid by design.

But stupid he did.
See Beruit Marine Barracks and withdrawl. Pre-cursor to 9-11.

Oh yes, see Books. Ever wonder where all the "remainder" books went after 1982? Ever wonder why the wierd books that used to get published in small numbers and you could always buy a copy of disappeared in 1982? Try Reagan's tax structure on inventory. He screwed book publishing but good.

One wonder's how deep into his Presidency the dementia went.

One wonders if the whole damn country didn't catch it from him.
 
Well. There are people alive today who believe that FDR was a communicst, and the worst president of the 20th century. They're morons, but there are a lot of them. ...
