I do not believe that I am capable of articulating how much I miss Pres. Reagan or how much he means to my life. I firmly believe that without him and Mrs. Thatcher, there would have been nuclear war and the Soviet Union would never have collapsed in the manner it did.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President. I know the Moron Horde misses you terribly.

Maybe it was and is a by product of how old I was at the time, but he always seemed comforting to me when I saw him on TV (and my dad did love to watch the news and imbued in me a desire to be aware of all of the shit going on beyond what Optimus Prime had shoved up Megatron's ass of what the A Team blew up that week). He struck me as a reassuring, tough but lovable, grandfather type.

For Christmas 1991, one of my gifts was some edu-tainment board game that referenced the Soviet Union. It was obsolete the moment I opened it up.
So I can't say I have deep, well-formed memories of Reagan's presidency. Virtually nobody under the age of 30 would. (Guess who voted for Barry... The under 30's.)

Hey! Not all of us did. Let's see... *looks for five minutes to find exit polling* 32% of people 18-24 and, dear God, 31% of people 25-29 voted for McLame.
It's also interesting to look at the education breakdown. People who went to some college/community college/college graduates were statistically split between McCain and Obama. People who have a high school education or less and people who went to postgraduate school broke hard for Obama. Never let the liberals say they are for the middle class.
I was just a year and a half old when Reagan left office and I have to say I am incredibly glad that I was born under a great president. Obviously I wasn't old enough to appreciate him while he was in office, or even during his lifetime, but I sure do appreciate him now. Every time I hear or read one of his speeches and compare it to the words of the current occupant of the White House, it just depresses me.
PS. I totally have a picture of Reagan hanging on my wall.

My favorite poster was one of a manly body, all Ahnuld-looking, holding a belt-fed machine gun like an M-60, with a jungle in the background.
It had Ronnie's head and the caption was "Ronbo".
She threw that one and the bicycle race poster from Queen away.
Bitch.
