Oh can you believe it was only ahundred years agowhen Ronald Reagan was born? Which side of the Civil War did he fight on, anyway? (Answer: He didn't fight at all, but he was an extra at the Ford Theater the night Lincoln was shot, and later claimed to have played the role of Robert E. Lee in James Joyce's movie
We used sheep brains when I was an undergraduate but the guy in our department who teaches Physio doesn't. Not sure why. You need all sorts of hoods and safety stuff to work with formaldehyde maybe. WhenI was in college you worked with bare hands and could take your sheep brain home over the weekend. I remember that there was this HUGE area for olfaction, for judgment and reasoning not so much. BTW, Anyone who wants to reduce their food intake should try dissecting something in formaldehyde. That smell soaks into your fingertips, rendering you unable to eat anything except by a fork or spoon. That eliminates most junk food.
I read it on Washington Post this morning. It was very revealing, and even more so the comments on the story. Many of them amounted to sticking fingers in one's ear and chanting "La la la I can't hear you"!
Somewhere Ronnie is saying to himself "That is NOT TRUE! I NEVER sucked a cock! Sure, I put a few in my mouth and rolled them around a little, yeah, but that's different".
Ah the Legacy. In the words of Dick Cheney, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We don't deal with terrorists, unless they are Iranian and their money will fund the contras. Two trillion in deficits when a trillion was real money. Also, he had his picture taken with a young, skanky Coulter.
Someone explain to me how a former actor turned politician who was not universally beloved, contrary to the myth, became St. Ronnie. Psychologists everywhere need to figure out a way to put this in the intro psych books along with all the other preventable disasters.
"Poor dear, there's nothing between his ears." British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
"President Reagan doesn't always check the facts before he makes statements, and the press accepts this as kind of amusing." former president Jimmy Carter, March 6, 1984
"His errors glide past unchallenged. At one point...he alleged that almost half the population gets a free meal from the government each day. No one told him he was crazy. The general message of the American press is that, yes, while it is perfectly true that the emperor has no clothes, nudity is actually very acceptable this year." Simon Hoggart, in The Observer (London), 1986
"The task of watering the arid desert between Reagan's ears is a challenging one for his aides." Columnist David Broder
&quot;He has the ability to make statements that are so far outside the parameters of logic that they leave you speechless&quot; Patti Davis (formerly Patricia Ann Reagan) talking about her father, <i>The Way I See It</i>
PsycWench: Take a look at the Media Matters post from the author of &quot;Tear Down This Myth.&quot; It becomes plain the Reagan myth was a very well-crafted lie - and this post helped me understand how the dirty deed was done.
Since Boehner, et.al. are busy focusing on important things like repealing Health Care and redefining rape, here&#039;s a bug to put in their collective asses: declare that November 19th is national Ronnie Ray gun day and make it Federal holiday. The irony of this date is that its also World Toilet Day <a href="http://www.worldtoilet.org/..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.worldtoilet.org/wtd/">http://www.worldtoilet.org/...
If the legislation is passed and signed into law, I suggest eating a plate of corned beef with hash and drinking a 5th of Jack Daniels. The next day you can celebrate by taking a pleasurable bowel movement while thinking &quot;thank you Ronnie Raygun.&quot;
We psychologists can offer the explanation that the average IQ is 100 (by definition), and half the population is below that. I don&#039;t have a solution to recommend for that.

Raygun seemed kind of cool in 1948 before his brain went bad.

If you are as tired as I am of hearing and reading that President Reagan won the Cold War, check this out: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/histor..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/coldwar/so...">http://www.bbc.co.uk/histor...
Well written, logical, factual, well-reasoned - and not one mention could I find of President Ronald Reagan.
Ask the old Soviets about the idea that Mr. Reagan beat them by bankrupting them in the Cold War and you get that Whiskey Tango Foxtwat look.
As for Iran-Contra, did President Reagan know about it? His wife says No. Col. Ollie North says Yes. Who&#039;s right?

Nice job Ken. I watched all the videos. If the nightmares start again I will blame you.

I believe it was Judy Tenuda who observed that Nancy (&quot;Mommy&quot;) Reagan looked like a stop sign with a perm.
