“People would say to me, ‘Bill, you vote for Clinton, he’s gonna raise your taxes. A vote for Clinton is a vote for higher taxes.’ See, I have news for you, folks the reason I didn’t vote for George Bush is because George Bush (along with Ronald Reagan) presided over an administration whose policies towards South America included genocide. So the reason I didn’t vote for him is because he’s a mass murderer. I’ll pay that extra nickel on a liter of petrol just knowing that little brown kids aren’t being clubbed to death like baby seals in Honduras so Pepsi can put a plant down there.” – Bill Hicks
“Much has been said about my management style, a style that’s worked successfully for me during 8 years as Governor of California and for most of my Presidency. The way I work is to identify the problem, find the right individuals to do the job, and then let them go to it. I’ve found this invariably brings out the best in people. They seem to rise to their full capability, and in the long run you get more done… When it came to managing the NSC staff, let’s face it, my style didn’t match its previous track record.” – Ronnie on Iran Contra.
I gotta say that philosophy worked out pretty well for Louis XV and XVI.
Ronnie’s failure was finding some of the most corrupt people in American history to go do the jobs. Just cuz he didn’t actually do it himself doesn’t mean he’s not responsible for the outcome.
I’m sure no one will believe me, so I don’t know why even I’m posting this, but:
I fucked him.
It was almost exactly a year ago. I was visiting a friend who goes to law school at UCLA. We went out to a lawn mowing club (which is one of the few non-nerdy I do well). After dancing a bit, he told me his name and there was a pause, like I should be impressed, and he said, “Facts are stupid thingsâ€Â. And was I was like, “Yeah, I’m from Seattle.†and he laughed and gave me a White House pen. So ended up going back to my friend’s apartment, drank some wine, then he took his girlfriend home, and well…
Anyway, I didn’t realize who he was until I got home and tried to look-up his number on-line.
I think I’ve still got some semen on my other pants. I’ll check when I get home.
In before insane political ranting.
Where did America go?

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

If only Barry Goldwater was still alive.
