May he rot in hell.

O.k., so, I read this about 24 hours ago. "What", thinks I, "another Nascar
driver or "country music" boy has bit the big one? So?".

So......we're on the way to Burlington this morning to talk to Becky's mom
about a screened porch she might want us to build. We stop at a convenience
store so Becky can get a cup of coffee and the Sunday Journal/Sentinel.

"Well.....**** fahr", quoth she.

"What?" says I.

"Dead", she responds.

"Hm..........who?", I wonder aloud.

"Reagan"

"Which one?"

"Ronbo".

"Ah!" thinks I......maybe that's what Kennie had in mind. Current events
were never exactly his strong suit (safe guess, that......there IS no strong
suit).

O.k........so.......the man has been dead for about 32 years. And NOW it's
news? Goddamn, people, don't ya'll have ANYTHING to think about?

Wolfgang
yogurt was definitely right.

Hey, I have all the current mess in Kinshasa to thank him (and JFK) for.
In
fact, at this moment, in the background on BBC radio is an interview with
some professor explaining why no one in DRC cares that he has died. They
take Voodoo seriously here.

Hm.......I confess that I have my own reservations about Voodoo.......still,
it's hard to take Oswald as lone assassin very seriously.

I was never a fan of Reagan nor his politics, to put it mildly, but it
seems to me that to gloat over his death reveals a serious character flaw.

Well......yeah.....but then, anything that doesn't highlight your own
sharing nature is a serious character flaw.

Wolfgang
who hastens to add (probably too late) that you probably shouldn't read
this........but then, the warning is probably superfluous, ainna?

Don't you think that the mobs, the guys firing guns and the corrupt
local politicians deserve a certain amount of blame?


Oh, well maybe some. And I bet a solid argument could be made that all the
Mbote leeches who come here to make tax-free money and be in the top 1% of
the economic pig-pile being contributes, too. But I was just quoting the
guy
on BBC.

Have you ever wondered whether there is ANYTHING that Stevie wouldn't step
in.......and then pick up and stuff in his mouth? I have.

Wolfgang
have you ever wondered why the boy just WILL NOT learn? i have.

Or if you want a really radical point of view, try PBS... the Public
Broadcasting Network!

No doubt that he was divisive. The Haves and the Have-Nots. If you were one
of 'his', you loved him. If you weren't, you despised him. To me, that alone
was enough to discredit him from ever being a great president.

I'm sorry for Nancy and her grief, but I suspect that she was is oblivious
to any pain or grief his policies caused to countless Central Americans.
Sorry for ****ing on a dead man's slippers, but just because he is dead does
not forgive his policies or atrocities. This isn't pro ball or boxing where
you shake the hand of the competitor and go away to face next Sunday: this
was real-life and a lot of people suffered or died because of him. In fact,
more than ever, its time to NOT let the pro-Reagan camp whitewash history.
