LIKE YOU REALLY CARE

I gave my lip service, so my karma is clear. Or, clear-ish. Now I'm happy to deliver more kicks to Reagan's rotting corpse. Here's more educated Reagan bashing, containing this paragraph emphasizing the importance of bashing Reagan—so his face doesn't replace the American flag:
If Blanche Noonan ever worries about the posthumous rep of the man who mistook his country for a hat, though, she needn't. Overseen by Grover Norquist, the Reagan Legacy Project has had all this well in hand for years. Besides working to stick Reagan's name on as many buildings, streets, ships, and mountains as possible, the organization's goals include carving his face on Mount Rushmore and putting his face on the dime. Even George Will huffed at 'trying to plaster Reagan's name all over the country the way Lenin was plastered over Eastern Europe, Mao over China and Saddam Hussein all over Iraq.' Norquist's basically Stalinist propaganda technique—enough memorials, and it could take a century to unconvince future generations that this was a great man—is sure some way to honor the most famous anti-Communist of all time. But to be fair, Reagan only objected to the 'Workers of the world, unite' part, not the cult of personality.

Found at my new favorite blog, Boing Boing. Boing Boing's been around since before blogs were cool, but somehow I've only discovered it recently. It's essentially four liberal nerds. We're two liberal nerds here, right? Boing Boing: where have you been all my life? I really need to update that list on the left.
