That's REAGAN

Sorry to see you learned some of your politics at Woodstock.
I'm sure all the folks there head a clear head at the time.

Feel how you will, I would give my left testicle (as I not using it anyway) to have a guy like Reagan in that fine white house right now.

Hope I didn't offend the ladys, just and old saying from my Airborne days.

early results are a little surprising, I figured this would be a two way race between Bush Jr and Carter with Clinton a distant 3rd.

I hope we get allot of participation it should be interesting.

LBJ was a piece of work, no doubt, probably should have picked him. To be fair to Carter, he was just standing there with a dumb look on his face and got hit from all sides...not much he could do about it.

Which reminds me of another lowbrow joke:

What did Hamilton Jordan and Roslyn Carter have in common?

I was a Ronnie fan and I liked that he was called Ray-Gun.
Just as a point of reference Woodstock was in 69, Ronnie was elected in 80.
I am not sure what you think I feel but as much as I like Ronnie he is not the man for 2009 but he was good for the 80's. Just an FYI, I don't think we need to know about your busted ball.

Reckon you Airborne guys don't need to use but ONE testicle at a time.

But I'm a bit confused. Someone learned something at Woodstock?

At least when Clinton was in the budget balanced, employment was at an all time high and there was a surplus, oh yeah my 401k was actually worth summat as well.

My reference to Woodstock, had to do w/ a reference by I think Joan Baez to Ronnie as Ronald Ray-Gun, as he was Govenor of California at the time. I cannot recall for sure as it has been some time since I listened to the album.

Thanks for all your concern, the only thing broken on me currently is my right ankle.

Chas - If you ever wore a T-10 harness, you would feel blessed that either one worked afterward.
