I heard this timely item on Mark Levin,![[*]](/toolshed/new-window.png){kind=small}
then found the YouTube.
Reagan on Carter & the Shah
One day, I sat down with my little girl to watch Mr Rogers, but instead found Dan Rather with a model of a rocket in front of him, and before he could say a word, my heart sank. Touching on all the right points, a much-needed, sincere, and well-delivered Presidential eulogy.
I don't even want to think about how Obama would handle a moment like that. Oh, wait! We already know, from his Gifford speech and his reaction after Fort Hood!
Always worth another watch, the classic "Tear down this wall!"
This led me to review several great videos from the fall of the wall -- What a still-inspiring moment! -- like this one.
Not videos, but perhaps you've seen the original TIME's Obama-Reagan cover?![[*]](http://deathby1000papercuts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/A1-Propaganda-Piece-1-490x650.jpg){kind=small}
Maybe you've also seen one of the "flipped" versions.![[*]](http://deathby1000papercuts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/aganda-Piece-2.jpg){kind=small}
But have you seen this
great alternative version?![[*]](http://hillbuzz.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/obama-carter1-e1296670893624.jpg?w=300&h=396){kind=small}
And one last Reagan item:
I convinced my McGovern voting Democrat parents to vote for Reagan. We had a class project to write about the candidates. I did Reagan, the more I read the more I liked. I showed my parents, and as innocent young kids are apt to do, I asked them why they liked Carter. They could not give me an answer. They voted for Reagan and never looked back. They still owe me for that one!!!

Reagan historic site board rejects federal ownership
The board of directors for the Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home National Historic Site voted four years ago to turn down an offer from the National Park Service to buy the Dixon site, said Ann Lewis, chairwoman of the Dixon Reagan Centennial Commission.
The board decided that given Reagan’s belief in small government, he wouldn’t have wanted his boyhood home to become federal property.
“We figured Mr. Reagan would be real unhappy,” she said.
Reagan, the only Illinois-native elected president of the United States, was born in Tampico, Ill., on Feb. 6, 1911, and lived in Chicago, Galesburg and Monmouth before spending his adolescent years in Dixon.

Safe Holiday Flying, America!
Although the TSA rapist-kidnapper is obviously just a statistical aberration (like the occasional postal worker who goes, uh, you know) with which brush we would not want to tar all these soldiers in the front line in the war on privacy, still, a veritable cult of crotch-gropers and child-molesters is operating by federal mandate in America's airports!
You've probably had news of most of the outrages, the nun, the shirtless 6-year-old, the cancer survivor's spilled urostomy, the sexual assaults, the very unsanitariness, and bald admissions that there is no 4th Amendment in their country.
But did you see....
We're protected... from returning American soldiers!
Soldier [touches butt stock of the rifle]: But this actually is a weapon. And I’m allowed to take it on.
TSA Guy: Yeah but you can’t use it to take over the plane. You don’t have bullets.
Soldier: And I can take over the plane with nail clippers?
Typical American travelers don't like the groping and attention, like Gloria Allred and "Missouri’s idiot Senator, Claire McCaskill". Nor can typical American travelers match the x-ray scanner manufacturer lobbyists' millions and their close traveling companion Barry, a President who is increasingly out of touch with reality, much less average holiday travelers.
Still, there's that mighty groundswell of typical red-blooded American response to all this tyranny, namely the booming business in "Don't touch my junk" tee-shirts (Also now, of course, "Do touch" - I just get so tickled by American entrepreneurial ingenuity!) Google "touch my junk shirt" nets over nine thousand results. (It's hard to Google "do touch" because Google, notoriously liberal, can't tell do from don't.) [BTW, Google "don't touch my junk" and you get over 4 million results! Compare "happy thanksgiving" which had a relatively paltry 2,450,000 results.]
And in a further and far more practical sartorial response...
Air Travelers! Remember to wear your Fig Leaf Knickers!
Above all, the TSArroristas will never win as long as we have HUMOR! SNL never had, you know, timing. (Like, you know, knowing where to end a gag.) Still, this skit raised a smile. Um, NSFW for sexy stuff. I thought TSA Gangstaz by Zach Selwyn and Eli Braden was much better. Uh... also NSFW for bad words & sexual poseurs just like real gagsta vid. There's also Con Air 2010 (TSA Remix) and TSA "My Ding-a-Ling" Sing-Along from Reason TV.
Ron Paul is not funny, at least not ha-ha, not usually, but give the man his due, he has his moments.
The requirement for being a TSA agent is either one year as a rent-a-cop -- mall security guard -- or one year as an x-ray tech. As the fellow on the radio said, that's what we've got going up against Al Quida's finest. Admittedly, the radio said with an audible shrug, we're only talkin' Al Quida's finest, but still....

Developed for Second Life by RaddDadd Upshaw
Tic^4 is a 4*4*4 version of Tic-Tac-Toe, but "dis ain't no baby's game." A player's objective is to get four of his marbles in a row in any direction. A win may be lateral or diagonal. Up to 7 wins at a time in 76 directions are possible. (However, if you manage to win in 7 ways, your opponent must have been working quite hard to lose!)
