Leaves, Ned, leaves. Leaves litter the gound and are thus pollution.

Huh? Rotting leaves perhaps?

Here is some more info about Reagan:

66 Things to Think About When Flying Into Reagan National Airport by David Corn

The firing of the air traffic controllers, winnable nuclear war, recallable nuclear missiles, trees that cause pollution, Elliott Abrams lying to Congress, ketchup as a vegetable, colluding with Guatemalan thugs, pardons for F.B.I. lawbreakers, voodoo economics, budget deficits, toasts to Ferdinand Marcos, public housing cutbacks, redbaiting the nuclear freeze movement, James Watt.

Getting cozy with Argentine fascist generals, tax credits for segregated schools, disinformation campaigns, "homeless by choice," Manuel Noriega, falling wages, the HUD scandal, air raids on Libya, "constructive engagement" with apartheid South Africa, United States Information Agency blacklists of liberal speakers, attacks on OSHA and workplace safety, the invasion of Grenada, assassination manuals, Nancy's astrologer.

Drug tests, lie detector tests, Fawn Hall, female appointees (8 percent), mining harbors, the S&L scandal, 239 dead U.S. troops in Beirut, Al Haig "in control," silence on AIDS, food-stamp reductions, Debategate, White House shredding, Jonas Savimbi, tax cuts for the rich, "mistakes were made."

Michael Deaver's conviction for influence peddling, Lyn Nofziger's conviction for influence peddling, Caspar Weinberger's five-count indictment, Ed Meese ("You don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime"), Donald Regan (women don't "understand throw-weights"), education cuts, massacres in El Salvador.

"The bombing begins in five minutes," $640 Pentagon toilet seats, African- American judicial appointees (1.9 percent), Reader's Digest, C.I.A.-sponsored car-bombing in Lebanon (more than eighty civilians killed), 200 officials accused of wrongdoing, William Casey, Iran/contra.

"Facts are stupid things," three-by-five cards, the MX missile, Bitburg, S.D.I., Robert Bork, naps, Teflon.

I agree with Zylka; Margaret Atwood is indeed complete ****e. I'll never forgive that stupid lesbo prof who forced me to read Atwood's god-awful work.

While it's certainly true that President Reagan remained silent while thousands died of AIDS, it's worth remembering that at long last he proclaimed October 1988 National AIDS Awareness Month.

Unfortunately, he made this announcement on November 1st, 1988.

The Gipper.

Ahh, Reagan was always good for a laugh. He was such a complete idiot. Like the time he talked about fighting in World War II when he had spent the entire way in Hollywood.

He is a perfect mascot for the Republicans, although Bush Junior is making a good run for the post.

This kind of sentiment only goes to show that Canada has fallen into a great abyss of ignorance that even a great leader such as Reagan could not rescue her from.

If ever I had a choice to place a branch office in Canada, I would say no, emphatically no. The place is hopeless.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with Regina.

Ned, you've got to work on your posting style

Your "make a dumbass proclamation as though delivering the Sermon on the Mount" bit is getting tired.

Especially when it comes to insults. Didn't you supposedly go to law school or something?

Take a lesson from Drake. He used to be a really boring-ass poster too, but now I read what he writes and generally enjoy it.

Thank you. It's amazing how much better a person you can become once you stop giving a ****.

[KrazyHorse]

You in the hall of shame yet?

[Drake Tungsten]

I can only aspire to having sunk that low.

If I'm around when they have the next one I'll lend you a vote. I got a couple other names in mind too...

EDIT: ****, I'm supposed to teach class tomorrow.

What the **** am I supposed to tell them, other than:
"Congratulations; I just finished correcting your midterms, and you've achieved a class average of 55% on a test which bordered on trivial. I'm giving up on being your TA and will instead devote the rest of my life to training fleas to swim. It couldn't possibly be more frustrating".

No way I'm getting involved in this pissing contest, but since this thread is still active I thought you all might appreciate this cartoon.
