By that logic, Rambo wouldn't have gone postal all over the Vietnamese' tees, and C. Tommy Howell would not have been able to overcome the Russio-Cuban aggressors in Red Dawn.

I haven't heard a good Red Dawn reference in quite some time. On a Reagan tip, let's not forget that his administration tried to make ketchup a vegetable. Of course, this was before ketchup was all sorts of freaky colors, so maybe they had a point. Or not. Oh, snap. I haven’t heard a good Red Dawn reference in quite some time.

Thomas Howell, current guest star on the WB's Summerland, on which his TV-son utters these words "S.E. Hinton was a girl?" BTW - he is not starring as himself, so it's super funny, really. And oh yeah, Reagan sucks. He sucks worst because baby girls in the late 80s were named Reagan. . .eeeewwwwww. C.

I'm young enough to barely remember the Reagan pregnancy but old enough to barely remember family friends dying of AIDS. Being respectful isn't the same thing as being gushy and neglectful, and when journalists forget that distinction, we're all fucked. A+.
