    I really wish we could get another president in office with Reagan's sense of humor.

    @OMG! Ponies!: McCain used to be someone I could respect. But unlike Reagan, McCain is an angry and bitter man. Reagan at least laughed, and even people who disagreed with him liked him as a person.

    @Lite: is punching people who are about to eat.: Yea. Politics aside, I can agree that Regan came off as a pretty witty SOB.


    My favorite quote/ jab from the Teflon man was after he was shot and talking to the doctors as he was being rushed into the ER:


    "I hope you are all Republicans..."

    @omgwtflolbbqbye: Right, I wasn't trying to make a case as to whether or not he was a good president. That depends upon your views politically. But as a person, as a human, he was well liked and respected. Even by people who weren't of his political affiliation.

    Has anyone tried buying from Dell lately? The slightest problem with your order, and there are always problems, you find yourself talking to the entire population of India. Why do I say that? because the first Indian customer service rep you speak to can never seem to get your problem resolved. Neither will the second, or the third, or the fourth, or the... Not to mention the amount of time you spend on hold as you, unwillingly, participate in the great trans-Indian relay race.


    Never again, Dell. Never again. Putin knows what I'm talking about.

    @Hello Mister Walrus:


    I don't find the picture scary at all. Putin was a KGB officer. Trained with firearms and is actually very smart. Unlike the way it is here in America, one doesn't rise to the top in Russia by being an idiot.


    Smart guy with a gun vs. idiot with a gun? This is like what I used to say to Bush supporters, heard of the expression "once a drunk always a drunk"? Which do you think is more dangerous to the American public? An ex-drunk running the country or a guy who just likes women too much?

    @F_munk: Ok fine, Mr Real Life. I meant scary in a sense that Putin could probably rip someone's balls off with his bare hands if he wanted to. He seems like a scary person to be in a dark alley alone with, not necessarily a scary policy maker.

    You could just click the "preview comment" box and see if your image was successfully embedded or not before you post.


    Or even better, use Ginas Greasemonkey script that automagically embeds formatting buttons into the comment boxes.

    @Rabid Penguin: The problem is, if your comment is too short it gets collapsed down to one line and you'll have to click the "+" sign to expand the comment. So since the only thing I posted was the picture, you'll have to expand my comment to see it.
