Ah, those dreamy days of the Cold War.

Trouble is, we didn't want to 'accomodate' the CHINESE.

Now they're our BANKERS.

Yep, we won the Cold War alright.

Mission Accomplished.

Ah, but who was it that finally "accomodated" those Chinese?

Nixon, was it?

:)

Too bad Truman didn't have the political will to stop the Communists from overrunning the country.

Well he sure was FRIENDLY with em.

Communists? Overrunning America?

I think that's spelled 'Corporatists'.

:-D

Actually, the ol' Gip did have a few quotes that were right on the mark (and oddly prescient of the current Admin)

"Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other." - Ronald Reagan

Sure covers those no-bid contracts and the godawful mess in Iraq, not to mention the ones in New Orlean and the VA hospitals.

"The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program." -Ronald Reagan

Hm. "We'll be in Iraq for 20 years" - damn. The jellybean-meister was bang on again!

"I've laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting." -Ronald Reagan

Have to say I'd love to see Dubya following this rule, especially when on vacation

"No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.
-Ronald Reagan

Gotta confess, I'm 100% with him on that one. Can't wait for '08!
