AS RONALD REAGAN FAMOUSLY SAID, THE NINE MOST TERRIFYING WORDS IN THE LATIN LANGUAGE ARE:

I’M FROM THE ROMANS, AND I’M HERE TO HELP.

“BY ABANDONING ALL EFFORTS TO REDUCE THE WORLD’S RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUELS, RONALD REAGAN WON THE ‘COLD WAR,’ THE ‘HOT WAR,’ AND PROVED HE’S A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS.”

“THE BARBECUING WILL BEGIN IN TWENTY-SIX YEARS … AND FIVE MINUTES.”

“When I submitted ‘Four Deformations of the Apocalypse,’ to the NY Times Op-ed page, I expected they would also use an appropriate graphic.”

“LET’S GET THIS COUNTRY BACK TO WORK BY ERECTING IN EVERY HAMLET, TOWN, AND CITY A GIANT STATUE OF JESUS, HOLDING AN AUTOMATIC WEAPON IN ONE HAND, AND A COPY OF  RONALD REAGAN’S HIT RECORD IN THE OTHER.”

“LET’S FACE IT, IF RONALD REAGAN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONFRONT HU JINTAO, MENUS IN CHINESE RESTAURANTS WOULD NO LONGER BE DIVIDED BETWEEN ‘COLUMN A’ AND ‘COLUMN B’.”

[Historical Note: Ronald Reagan did visit China in 1984.]

“My fellow citizens. I assumed the office of the Presidency with the best of intentions — to try to change both the culture of Washington, and the way business is done here.

But after just two short weeks, I realized that I was HOPE-lessly naive. That trying to negotiate with the know-nothing Neanderthal, Limbaugh-ass-sucking, tax-cut-a-saurus, fickle-down Reagan-worshipping Rethuglicans, is about as pointless as trying to resuscitate our ailing economy by exporting tea to China.

So here’s the REAL CHANGE I’m now proposing:  

Forget the bank bailouts, we’re gonna use the  remaining TARP dollars to buy up the TOXIC GOP ASSES from Congress.  For far less than the cost of any stimulus package to the Treasury, we’ll put these “bad asses” in a “bad holding tank,” where they can’t do any further damage to this great nation.

I know I promised to close Guantanamo, but it’s clear that the legal system is simply not equipped to deal with these nihilsts who are out to destroy our very way of life. 

But let’s be clear — the WAR ON ERROR will not be won in a year, or even during this generation. We must remain ever-vigilant against these malefactors of great mischief.

And now that I finally did what I had to do to the Rethuglicans, it’s time for a smoke.
