FFS, a statue of Raygun in London? They're probably planning Bush II's plinth as I speak. I only hope Fluck and Law are designing the statue. (asknowledgement: I stole the last line from the comments under the article)

4. Clive James once descirbed...

... Reagan's brand of patriotism as "John Wayne's portrait on the side of an MX-missile".

It's an interesting thought. Maybe we Brits should vote on which Yank we'd most like to have on a plinth in London instead of Ronnie. I think I'd vote for Matt Groening.

Not only would it be poetic justice, but the two large ones would balance the skinny one ... :evilgrin:
