                     You mean President Ronald Reagan right? The man who engineered the defeat of communism?

                     But unlike the leaders of the former Soviet Union he worked to free human beings instead of enslaving them.

*shrug* We all have our foibles. Personally I miss George III.
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

And here it is, I thought you were referring to this great American.



Double Yoi!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Was watching that debate live, only time I ever saw Buckley loose it in a debate.

Used to love watching that guy, what a mind, and the facial expressions just be for he dropped a load of bricks on you were classic.

He was a true conservative, not like the political hacks we have now.

I always enjoyed William F. Buckley's PBS show. He had a tendency to dig into the root causes of issues. A great mind.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Don't anyone tell poor Boroda that Russia is no longer a Marxist state.   I guess he must be longing for the return of the old Soviet Union.

The Hammer and Sickle were supposed to symbolize the joining of workers from both industry and agriculture together.
