Reagan might have been a meat puppet with Alzheimer's - but at least he had class.

Yeah, it's scary when I find myself actually missing Reagan.

I actually find myself missing the Nixon administration!

Reagan ended the Cold War. Bush has started a whole new one, but his is with everyone in the world. Including his own country's citizens.

I've just looked up quotes by Reagan. Man, he was a joy to listen to. Remember when he took over, in place of Carter? That Carter was boring as hell and was on TV connnstantly. @_@ But Reagan was brief, to the point, and usually funny. :)

Some stuff Reagan said:

"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."

"The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away."

"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

And this one... well, Reagan said it... and although he didn't say it about G.W. Bush, it sure fits: "To sit back hoping that someday, someway, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last--but eat you he will."

And finally... Reagan's oopsie: "My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes."

Yup. That be true.
