22. If I was on MIRT you'd go on the list I keep in my head.

If you were like 18 years old in 2000, first vote, and raised in a fundamentalist hell-hole I might forgive you.

Seriously, Bush???

One of the few people who ever made my skin crawl worse was Ronald Reagan.

My first presidential vote was for Jimmy Carter and history has proven me correct.

Carter is the more honorable man. I don't think highly of some of Carter's beliefs, but the alternatives were worse. I'm a Klingon when things are in the sewer. Honorable behavior rates above mendacity, duplicity, ignorance, and back-stabbing. Those Klingons had some respect for science, otherwise they'd never have left the planet.

Reagan was a venal idiot demented puppet who'd say anything or do anything for a blow job.

Just like George W. Bush, I think the red button they gave Reagan was a fake. George H.W. Bush carried the red button for Reagan, Dick Cheney carried the red button for "W."

The devil owns the Republicans and quite a few Democrats too.
