Been eating at me for a few days

So Friday is going to be a NATIONAL DAY of MOURNING and flags will be flown at halfmast for the next 30 days.

BIG FAT HAIRY DEAL

See, my memory goes back to Gerald Ford as the president. I remember Carter being elected. This being the case, I remember how shitty a President that Reagan actually was.

This was the man who tested the microphone before a press conference by saying, "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."

This was the man who's administration declared ketchup was a vegetable.

This was the "Great Communicator" who was the biggest sockpuppet in the history of the country until ole Smirky McFuckstick stole the Oval Orifice.

Reagan's dead ... at 93 ... proof that only the good die young.

I hear ya. I remember crying when Carter lost. Then again, I was really rooting to Kennedy. Those were the days when if you were white trash, you were a democrat. My how times have changed.

Reagan did give a lot to the country though. Mostly some pretty good music from the 80's. I mean.. would the dead kennedys have happened if it weren't for Reagan?

Very true that. Sadly, the music slagging Smirky McFuckstick just doesn't seem to have the same edge or soul.

"Idiot Son of an Asshole" seems to be the 'shining' example of what the new breed of music lacks in their attempt to slag Smirky (can't ride a bike or segway) McBumbleFuck. There really isn't much more than that out there.

I've noticed that. Then again, in 1983 I was still crushing on Simon Lebon instead of Jello Biafra... But yeah, there's no good political music nowadays. Everyone's afraid because of 9/11.
