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.

This was the man who, as my commander-in-chief, sent me to Central America to do Really Bad Things™ to decent (even if angry) people.

I will grant that as a Man, he had some saving graces... but as a leader of Men, he was just another follower. I'll honour his passing as is due any holder of the highest free office in the world, out of respect for the office.

I'll mourn when my fellow Georgian passes... if he ever does. How many former Presidents build/built houses for the underprivileged? You can count them all on your third leg.

I knew you'd give other examples of why he was not some icon of greatness. Thank you. I was simply throwing in two "shining" points that will always be in the front of my mind when talking about ole senile Bonzo.

" I'll honour his passing as is due any holder of the highest free office in the world, out of respect for the office. "

Exactly, at least he WAS the president. Unlike the current commander in thief.
