Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Admittedly it'll be difficult, since I don't have a gun, but I'll manage it somehow. I'll use my Scanners mind power, maybe. Anyway, one more reason to quit watching the History channels, alongside the wall-to-wall Jesus programming lately.

2. What?
I thought they gave up on that after Nancy Reagan said it was a bad idea.

4. A private outfit calling itself the Washington Monetary Authority
The commercial goes on and on about the the "massive public support" for putting Reagan on the official dime. Yeah, I remember those street demonstrations agitating for the Reagan dime. (Maybe a little sarcasm there.)

6. His picture on a snake oil bottle would certainly be appropriate
as Steve Earle pointed out all those years back.

7. Do you, or do you not, control your TV and your eyes?
I guess not.

8. I haven't gotten the remote control surgically implanted into my wrist
...yet.

Eyes aren't the problem so much as ears.

12. Not worthless at all ...
especially since the man on the dime is your avatar.

Dime - March of Dimes.

10. I think that an especially thin dime...
...would be highly appropriate.

11. When's the Reagan food stamp coming out?
Edited on Tue Apr-18-06 08:25 AM by Deep13
Or the Nixon $3 bill. Or the GWB IOU?

13. Do what I do when forced to watch Idiot Son on tv
I have one of those suction cup dart guns with a clip that holds 8 darts. You can unload on the tv and make yourself feel better instantly. It was a lifesaver during the debates and is never out of my hands during SOTU.

14. Yaaaaaaaaaaay! Must have!
Only thing is I might start looking forward to W and Reagan dime appearances, which would be more than a little peculiar.:)
