1. How many more decades must we suffer under this delusion?

From Bonehead to Pelosi, they all fall over themselves to praise a B movie actor who was
good at saying his lines, but cared not one whit for the majority of the people who inhabit
the country he ruled over. He cared about his wealthy right-wing elite friends, and enjoyed
power. He cared nothing for the health of the citizenry (medical or economic), the environment
in which they live, or the legitimacy of his foreign policy actions. The most obscene slap in
the face of the nation was naming Washington National Airport after him (he fired the ATC and
hated Washington anyway). All those who grew up in Northern Virginia, as I did, refuse to call
the airport anything other than "National" anyway. His name is as as out of place at that
airport as a blue whale in a Nebraska cornfield.

This ranks up there as a close number two. The only reason I won't be spitting on the statue when
I pass it is because my spit is too good for a statue of that imitation of a president.

4. These dick heads

aren't working very hard in the face of the total collapse of modern civilization if they've time to deify a bozo like St. Roney the Pitch Man. WTF?

6. Those walls.....came down....

...because of a myriad of reasons, mostly domestic and in the USSR.... and because in 1975 I moved a pebble on the beach.
