. . . piece . . . PIECE! Crap. Even that doesn't look right. Gonna be one of those days. And since I had to sign in again after a two-line previous post, I'm just gonna take my ball and go home, er, leave home . . . Well, I'm gonna do something different.

Dang Doigotta, often I have to copy and paste what I have just written, and I don't write

long posts.

Wonder I have a hair left growing outta my head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Speaking of Mark Martins (Rwingnut, Prairie Grove) he has an opponent this time around.
Earl Hunton, the County Judge's son, is opposing. Earl is a chicken farmer so he should draw
support from the poultry industry and Farm Bureau. So, if that is an improvement then by
all means support Earl.

Ah I recall the trouble my late great uncle had back in the spring of '46 when he was called upon to say a few nice words about Nazis. Back then it was OK to say at least they was white, so that went on the top of his list. He then scratched out something about their amazing loyalty to the Fuhrer, which was true. He tried to write pretty about goose-steppin, but that didn't work out.

He managed to cite good friendships they had like with Prescott Bush, you know that reach around...the sea biz. He totally missed saying something about all the captured German scientists who would work for NASA for years, but he just didn't know all that yet.

Ole Unk wrestled and wrestled trying to come up with good things to say about all those bad people. He didn't have the stick-to-it-ness of Mr. Brummett....Unk gave up and worked the night shift at the light plant for the rest of his life.

Makes me scared to death at the idea of Republicans in the White House AND the state legislature! Ohmagod!

LOVE the heading: "Remembering Reagan."

Funny / sad because even HE couldn't remember who he was.

Years back (true story), I happened to be seated at a table next to (retired) President Reagan and Marvin Davis, lunching at the Hillcrest Country Club. As it happened, my partner and I had a 2 p.m. meeting with Marvin Davis at his Century City offices.

We all left about the same time. Reagan and security got into his limo. Marvin into his. My partner and I into my Biarritz.

Again, by happenstance, my partner and I entered Davis' Century City office building and headed for the elevators at the same time the Reagan / Davis parties did. Marvin recognized me and knew we had the meeting, so despite security we were invited to ride up with them.

Reagan's office was on a floor below Davis' luxury suite atop the skyscraper.

Completely oblivious that he'd just had lunch with Davis less than half an hour ago, Reagan beamed and extended his hand. "Marvin! Good to see you again! Nancy and I have missed you!"

Marvin played along.

When the elevator opened and we stepped out into Davis' drop-dead office lobby, he just shook his head and said, "That's sad. Sad."

One is sick of the irrational unfactual sanctification of Ronald Reagan and his party's policies.

Reagan was and always remained a corporate shill -- from his movie and TV days, where he was never a major player, until his death.

The best book ever written on the Reagan phenomenon, and Reagan's corporate and political puppeteers, is still Ron Moldea's "Ronald Reagan, MCA and the Mob."

Talking about Reagan with anybody who has not read the book is like talking to somebody whose idea of political science and discourse is reading aloud from "My Pet Goat."
