      Having grown up during Reagan's first years in Sacramento, I had forgotten what a mean sounding guy he was.

            And had a chimp named bonzo. Hmmm, a movie about teaching morals to a chimp. No wonder Reagan was a right wing conservative.

              And the chimp that never learned morals was "elected" in 2000.

      Now that I'm old and farty, I think Social Security and Medicare are horrible communist plots! They should end! Now that I'm half-dead. I think Christopher Buckley wrote about killing off the boomers who are hogging all our resources, didn't he? And RR is also famous for suggesting that the BANCROFT LIBRARY (host of Mark Twain and other "PROGRESSIVE" writers) should sell rare books because nobody reads them, after all. Brilliant man. Greatest President. LOL!

      I was wondering why Moveon and some of the other people didn't dig up these old scare videos to show how it's the same thing all over again.
