This week's installment will be easy, since all it has to do is explain how Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War by scaring the Godless Rooshians with a laser gun. And lots of deficit spending on the military, but we don't need to talk about that. But Reagan didn't do it alone -- he had help from the moral rot of communism itself, which left the USSR unable to keep up with Reagan's youthful vitality and manly bonerism (OK, on that, we're extrapolating from what's implied in our Christian textbooks).
Saw T-Heads at Stony Brook in 1978 and at SPAC in Saratoga Springs around 1982 or so. Saw the Ramones several times, mostly at JB Scott's in Albany, NY. Saw nearly every hot act there in the early 80s. Saw Ramones and Blondie in Central Park once or twice. Never did make a trip to CBGB's or Mudd Club though. Pity, but on the bright side I still have all of my teeth.
<i>We don&#039;t need no education. We don&#039;t need no thought control. No <strike>dark sarcasm in the classroom</strike> ugly vile little snark mob. Reagan, leave those kids alone!</i>
Plus also LBJ said when he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that he was conceding the South to the Republican Party. Only he probably said it in some characteristically redneck way.
I worked in a coffee shop during the RR era. One of the non- coffee things we featured was the brand of jelly beans favored by the GOP Savior. If the Easter Bunny hisself walked up to me offering blow jobs and anal if I would consume said beans, I would politely say no.
Bullshit! <i>I</i> wrote the graffiti on the Wall in 1982 that led, almost, almost, <i>almost</i> directly to the dismantling of the Soviet Bloc barely 7 years later. This kinda shit takes <i>time</i>, damnit!
<i>&quot;...responses of the USSR to problems of its own making, particularly the drain on the Soviet economy from its occupation of Afghanistan&quot;</i>
Russia fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is &quot;never get involved in a land war in Asia&quot;. Stupid Russians.
Saw the Ramones in Central Park in 1978 and in Albany, NY in 1979 and 1980. They tore the place up every time. Gabba Gabba Hey

I&#039;ll believe we&#039;re the greatest republic ever to stand when we break Venice&#039;s longevity record, around 3147.

And they (the Chinese) retaliated by making Wal-mart their factory outlet store.
Technically Reagan was in the Army Air Force during WWII, mostly with the 1st Motion Picture Unit deployed to Culver City, California. (Really!)
me too, especially a matched pair of 6550s or 6L6s
