He was a great public speaker, like Obama. But I'm not sure he depended on the teleprompter to the extent Obama does.

We are a weak people. The moment anything potentially interferes with our ability to visit a Starbucks for a $5 cup of whatever we freak out.

Reagan = The Great Communicator

Obama = The Great Apologizer

Pompous, obvious, and a little dense.

Pure MH.

Who fucking cares?

With all the red meat out there -- taxes, deficit, bailout, health-care reform, two ill-considered, ill-pursued wars, cloture-proof majority for the Dems in the Senate and incipient oligarchy -- you choose to bitch about an ipod, a hamburger and and a teleprompter.



I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I invented the piano key necktie, I invented it! What have you done, Darrin? You've done nothing! NOTHIIIING!
