In Memoriam

[infrogmation]

"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." - 1984

"If there has to be a bloodbath, then let's get it over with." - 1969

"Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do." - 1981

"Libya has now gone Communist, and that's a sign that the day of Armageddon isn't far off." - 1971

"I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself." - 1985

Yes yes, I know, I am going strait to Hell if anything in the above fails to show proper respect and unlimited affection for the greatest, most intelligent, and most holy leader ever.

Sorry, but I've had more than my fill already of the genuflection-fest before the idol of Saint Ronnie, and I expect to have to endure more of it this evening.

I thought that first one was pretty darned funny at the time. Still do.

But I agree 100%, as I commented to one of ansley's posts (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ansley/474235.html) (along with a bonus diatribe against the Shrub):

I'm with you! The guy's been a veg for the last 10 years, it's not like he's been out there changing the world since he left office. What's the big deal? Now we're going to be innundated with (even more) Republican rhetoric and bullshit and lots of smarmy politicians' crocodile tears. I shudder to think what the speech writers are coming up with for the Shrub to fumble his way through. Ugh. I hope they bury the old turd in a hurry. It must piss off Dubya that he'll have to say nice things to Nancy since she's all for stem-cell research and he (Mister Holier-Than-Thou) banned it. What a prick. Why, oh why couldn't it have been Dubya that met an untimely end this weekend? Six more months...

I did hear one really good quip

over all my teeth-grinding and steering-wheel-clenching:

I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.

This relieved my disgust just enough to prevent me from spewing McDonald's food all over the car.

OK. The guy's dead, Smarty Jones didn't win the Triple Crown, the NO School Board is in a mess. Let's get over it.
