Citing President Lincoln’s quip, “If I didn’t laugh, I couldn’t stay in this job 15 minutes,” President Reagan used his own political wit to great effect.

Would he be talking about his own party today?
With all the recent talk about votes who want change, both in policies and in their pockets, I’d like to get that credit card back in my wallet! I’d also like to cut up the card that’s keeping Hillary’s campaign going!

Wow… A trip down memory lane! He was one charismatic SOB, for sure. Don’t ask anyone about my middle school year in which I wore a tie and spouted “patriotic”, Republican filth; I’ve killed them all.
Brings me back to the pencil graffiti I’d draw of Ronnie, until my 10th grade history teacher busted me and made me stay after to clean all the desks. I felt so betrayed: Mr. Townsend was the best Democrat I could emulate. Still, he understood better the common good.
