- I always have to laugh when someone says "x is arguably y," to begin
- with. It is a true statement to say that Jared Dahl
- is arguably a floor lamp, but I digress.

- Reagan wasted tons of money, huh? Like spending millions to have
- the 411-phone info line for the district of columbia moved
- to west virginia? oops. sorry, that was Senator Byrd... Like having
- money appropriated for a Lawrence Welk museum in North Dakota? oops.
- it was the profligate congress again.. sorry.
- our cities went straight to hell because of reagan, huh? yup. he tacitly
- encouraged drug use when he was caught smoking crack in a d.c. hotel.
- wrong again... that was marion barry.
- boy, that damned reagan. what a mess he made.
