I thought Reagan was a puppet? He's the perfect mascot.

It's like the ultimate mugger money.

Comedians are usually less informed about politics than they believe, which makes it embarrassing when they try to pronounce on them seriously.

Honestly, start by reading or even just watching the movie version of All The President's Men. It will at least disabuse you of the notion that Watergate was just a hotel burglary.

Unzip and Attack posted:Everyone's always blowing Reagan and his "rhetoric" and what not but aside from coining a few masterful terms like welfare queen, he wasn't some incredible orator. People worship him because the modern conservative movement absolutely needs a contemporary conservative figure to lionize and for historical reasons outside his control, he won by default. I mean poo poo, Reagan's own policies failed the 2008 "Reagan Test" that was supposed to be some pseudo-religious standard of devotion. It's not that Reagan was anything special, it's just that his target audience is made up of the worst scum in the country who willingly praise him for poo poo he didn't even do or say. There you go again...*applause, all the votes*

If boozechat's over here, I'm partial to Old Crow Reserve. It's not some single malt small batch whisky that's been aged so long that strictly speaking it should be called Pict, but it's not all that bad for $20 a handle.

It's amazing the amount of emotional capital people sink into into the Israeli/Palestinian conflict considering how low-intensity it is compared to all the other conflicts going on all around it.

What it lacked in intensity (right now), compared to the ongoing Syrian/Iraqi strife at least, it makes up for in unending length. I mean seriously, it's a conflict older than almost every person on this board (probably), and has flared pretty hot at times. That's something people get invested in.

Wikipedia says: 21,500 casualties (1965–2013)[2] Which doesn't add up to even a single year of the Syrian Civil War.

It involves Yaakov Kirschen, a large part of my emotional capital is tied up in despising everything from his art to his opinions. Syria needs to turn out more bad political cartoons if they want my interest.
