MEMORIES OF REAGAN

Is anyone else appalled about the wistfulness with which the country is looking back on the 80s? I’ll give you some memories of the “Reagan” years. The economy was in the tank, fingers were way too close to the nuclear trigger and skirt lengths were definitely too long. Every jerk I went to school with was a "Gordon Gekko" business major whose deepest dream was to own a BMW. I remember laying awake each night, straining to hear the sound of incoming missiles, with more than just a little justification brought on by our little, dead solder. Give me a break. He was a charming, fascist. And did I mention that skirts were way too long?

Here, here to Dr. X for pointing out the real hero of the Cold War. We survived despite the best efforts of the man most of America is now going dopy-eyed over. No bagpipes for you Mr. Reagan.

Whew.......I feel better.
