Ronald Reagan-isms
(You don't know how much you love someone until he's gone.)
"Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose."
"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so."
"Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S.was too strong."
"I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandment's would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress."
"The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination."
"Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."
"The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program."
"I've laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting."
"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first."
"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it"
"Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book."
"No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women."
"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under."
Indeed, President Reagan was a great man and leader!
Good morning, Monkey Face. How are things in you neck of the woods. Finally, we are warming up and the snow is melting. Snow Drops blooming in the snow. What a sight. ;)
God bless you, 'Face, for that dose of the inimitable President Ronald Reagan; his turns of phrase are, at once, truthful and humorous; a refreshing combination.

If I can adjust my schedule to meet the requirements of my top-tier customers (that's the wife and kids), and still pull it off, I'll be able to go hear Mark Steyn speak at UC Berkeley tomorrow or Thursday night. Keeping my fingers crossed.
