1. Lou check this out...
This is the end of the innocence
O’ beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They’re beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And was away this sin
We’ll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end

5. some ideas on how to honor St Reagan's day
how to honor St Reagan's day:

say 3 hail Mary's and trade two kilos of cocaine for M-16's and send
the money to Iran.

Say 3 our father's and two hail Mary's, deregulate every industry in sight cut supply, then screw the consumers to the wall, fire all unionized employees because of it and get the gov. to sign off on it.

Follow Rev. Phelps example and go to the national cathedral carrying a sign that says "Burn in Hell", and call it free speech.

Take a Nicaraguan to lunch day!
after the lunch feel free to executed them in font of their family.

Declare a "preventative war" on your neighbor, tie up their family and interrogate them. (*hoods not included)

Ride your bike day! (for all you left wing wacko environmentalists)

Or simply stop any group of nuns randomly, rape them, then shoot them.

7. Honor Rick Springer
who, to protest a nuclear test in Nevada, went onstage and grabbed an award from Reagan's hand and took over the microphone to tell the world about the test. He got jail time, and may still be doing it. Robert Hoyt wrote a song about it--the lines I recall are:

Meanwhile in Las Vegas
This thing was going down
The National Associates of BS were in town
They were to give an award for what should have been a crime
To the Great Communicator-
The biggest liar of our time.....

from The Ballad of Rick Springer

8. Reagan wasn't Catholic ...

That's one of the big requirements for beatification.

I think the evangelicals will have to change their stance on the "papist" practice of sanctifying individuals. The cult of supply side Jesus needs idols that actually EXIST!!!!!

Perhaps I will take a day off to commemorate the Iran-Contra affair.
