One Hundred Years of Reagantube: Remembering Reagan In Dumb Videos
Oh can you believe it was only ahundred years agowhen Ronald Reagan was born? Which side of the Civil War did he fight on, anyway? (Answer: He didn't fight at all, but he was an extra at the Ford Theater the night Lincoln was shot, and later claimed to have played the role of Robert E. Lee in James Joyce's movieUlysses S. Grant.) Oh, also, back in the 1980s when Ronald Reagan was actually serving as president in some weird state of constant incapacitation? Everybody thought he was a moron. Most Republicans didn't even support him during the regular lows of his disastrous two terms. He also didn't defeat the Soviet Union -- they ran out of money on their own, just like we've done here in America in the past 10 years, in theexact same Central Asian country.But Ronald Reagan did delight America with his constant, idiotic appearances on film and television. Let's remember the empty suit who led us to a Promised Land of Fox News, Tax Cuts for Multi-Billionaires and the deliberate dismantling of what had been the world's smartest, most prosperous society in the History of the World.
It doesn't take long to figure out that Ronald Reagan and his famously fake "sunny disposition" could be turned on like a faucet foranypurpose. Freedom, some kind of hand soap, whatever!
Doubt us? Here's Reagan making a powerful argument (complete with folksy bullshit story) about how corporate profits are soaring and oil companies are price gouging and poor old working people are getting screwed. (He made this recording in 1948.)
And here is the White House astrologer who decided when Reagan could have a press conference, or when he might have a summit with the Russians or whatever. Family Values/Jesus!
Ronald Reagan: Beneath that smiling old fool facade was a vicious, sneering vulgarian.
And here's the bumbling war criminal's testimony in federal court during the trial of John Poindexter, Reagan's own National Security Advisor, who was convicted offive feloniesfor his Iran-Contra crimes and would have vanished into shameful obscurity had George W. Bush not brought him out of "retirement" to spy on Americans during the post-9/11 insanity.
Watch this smarmy, half-senile liar "address the nation" after the entire White House was caught red-handed arming terrorists and funding death squads. These peopledrippedevil. Never forget.
We used sheep brains when I was an undergraduate but the guy in our department who teaches Physio doesn't. Not sure why. You need all sorts of hoods and safety stuff to work with formaldehyde maybe. WhenI was in college you worked with bare hands and could take your sheep brain home over the weekend. I remember that there was this HUGE area for olfaction, for judgment and reasoning not so much. BTW, Anyone who wants to reduce their food intake should try dissecting something in formaldehyde. That smell soaks into your fingertips, rendering you unable to eat anything except by a fork or spoon. That eliminates most junk food.
I read it on Washington Post this morning. It was very revealing, and even more so the comments on the story. Many of them amounted to sticking fingers in one's ear and chanting "La la la I can't hear you"!
