Funny, I look back on the Reagan years with fond nostalgia. There was something comforting about having a president who was only vaguely aware of what was going on, but could read his lines like a pro... erm... like the professional actor he was. That whole period was a step back into a fantasy land reminiscent of the late '50's, early 60's. If we pretended hard enough, everything was peachy keen.
hmm... maybe if we pass out t-shirts that say "I reject your reality" to Wall Street, stocks will go up?
I will say Reagan is one of the few presidents I still quote. Evil Empire is a favorite term, although I've never used it to reference the Soviet Union.
