As pointed out earlier, he was more pragmatic than Bush has been.
Frances FitzGerald points out in Way Out There In the Blue that Reagan was the one who believed in Gorbachev, while his advisors and cab. secs thought Gorby was faking everything.
Some of that may have been Reagan's 'sunny optimism' but that's something that not even The Shrubbery has.

i think Reagan was saved from his worst excesses by Gorbachev. i really dont know who is going to be responsible for more deaths in the long run--it is difficult to separate Reagan's responsibility from Bush's because they are both part of the same conservative effort to transform american society--Reagan set the stage and helped build the foundation for Bush, and both are creatures of the same influences. Reagan was more competent at stagecraft and dealing with people, which is both better and worse. i really tend to think reagan was more destructive in the long run because he was more competent in public.

That is absolutely true. The sentry at that death trap was not allowed to load his weapon as some vague lawyery international law thing (in reaction to that incident, all guards in that kind of situation have ammo now). Another thing that came out of the Lebanon thing is, a Naval committee foresaw the fundamentals of what would become the Cole bombing -- the ease with which a small dinghy loaded with explosives could damage even a large ship, really the same strategy as was used ni the kamikaze truck in Lebanon -- but totally shelved it all as soon as they left.

our exit from iraq is going to look and result in what happened to the former soviet union -- economic bankruptcy, the military seriously degraded, the 'homeland' infrastructure degraded and no money to repair and the total gutting of federal/state social services. and then let's just throw in the likelihood of a couple of additional major cities being lost, i.e., new orleans, due to catastrophic circumstances.

o dubyy never attacks strong foes. really, the reagan that believed in Gorbachev, to the extent he did, was the reagan that believed in astrology, or in star wars-he thought all he had to do was show gorbachev some shopping malls and that would do it. if this chance the gardener idiocy qualifies as sunny optimism in retrospect, it it testimony to the effectiveness of Reagan's hagiographers.
pretzelattack | 06.17.06 - 9:42 pm
Frances FitzGerald isn't a hagiographer, so it was interesting coming from her. It's a interesting book, not just about the Star Wars crap, but about the neocons. Some of the 'undead' from the Reagan era did indeed come back.
I agree that the same forces that brought us Reagan have brought us Bush II. 'Cept Bush II is more of a true believer.

I still think it's a guy. And frigid.
Taking a break from politics, today tirned into a movie day. First "Pillow Talk," a really well-constructed sex farce without any sex, typically for the Hudson-Day movies. Lotsa good one-liners, elegantly devised plot twists laced with vulgarity.
Then "Remains of the Day," as typical a Merchant-Ivory movie as one could ask for--I mean that as a compliment. Very good, but in the middle of every Merchant-Ivory movie, I start longing for a Merchant-Ivory-Corman movie.
Then "The Misfits," a movie I'd avoided, having heard its demerits. Flaws are irrelevant when one sees Marilyn Monroe in recognizable screen persoma, but dramatic context, and she more than pulls it off. She's heartbreaking in the role of the life force who can't stand or tolerate death. Who can inspire men to do fine things they've never done before, but she can't stand the thought that those things involve death.
At times the men talk back to her--I love Clark Gable's line to her: "You've bought food for my dog--What did you think was in those cans?"

No he didn't. Putting Reagan in charge of the federal bureaucracy was like putting a vegetarian in charge of a slaughterhouse. He found government action (other than military) repugnant.
The only reason he didn't fuck things up further, like David Stockman wanted to, was because of the durability of the New Deal institutions that he had to work on eroding.

Just saw Glenn Greenwald.
He should run for office: smart, well-spoken, personable, good-looking, explains complex issues without condescending, likeable... Will stop gushing now.
Couldn't be bothered to visit Pittsburgh...
Once the Chinese have calculated how to oust the dollar from being the world reserve currency, no more T-bills, no more US borrowing.
They sort of don't care if the new reserve is the euro or the yuan, or some combo. They want some excuse to sell the dollar short.
The US is currently in an impossible relation with the Chinese, where US debt, bought by Chinese, fuels the US trade deficit, returning to the Chinese.
The Chinese see the silliness. The Busheviks don't.
And I can't tell you how bizarre it was waking up every morning, walking into the kitchen to make coffee and finding a duck quacking in his box.
But *why* did you have a duck in your kitchen?

Austria's Haider says Bush is a war criminal
Sat Jun 17, 2006 10:21 AM ET
VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian right-wing populist Joerg Haider called President Bush a war criminal on Saturday, days before Austria's government hosts Bush and European leaders in Vienna.
Haider, whose group is part of Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel's government coalition, said Bush's meeting with his European peers on Wednesday was pointless as he did not expect the U.S. president to pay attention to what Europe had to tell him.
"He is a war criminal. He brought about the war against Iraq deliberately, with lies and falsehoods," Haider said in an interview with Austrian daily newspaper Die Presse.
"The Iraqi population is suffering terribly. Bush took the risk of an enormous number of victims," said Haider.
Good night all you left-wing whackjobs!

David_Stockman
Stockman was elected to the United States House of Representatives for the Ninety-fifth Congress and was reelected to the Ninety-sixth and Ninety-seventh Congresses, serving from January 3, 1977, until his resignation January 27, 1981 to accept appointment as Director of the Office of Management and Budget under U.S. President Ronald Reagan. In 1981, he proposed classifying ketchup as a vegetable as part of Reagan's budget cuts for federally financed school lunch programs (it would make it cheaper to satisfy the requirements on vegetable content of lunches). The suggestion was widely ridiculed, and the proposal was killed. He was committed to reducing government spending, but left after disagreement with Reagan's policies. In 1986, he wrote a book criticizing the Reagan administration called The Triumph of Politics. He is best known for having referred to supply-side economics as a "trojan horse" used to cut taxes on the wealthy. Stockman also admitted to purposely running up the budget deficit and using it as an excuse to cut spending on domestic programs.

Re K-Fed--He's always identified as a "choreographer" in news reports. Can anyone name an example of his choreography, like a disco interpretation of Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire" done for a Banana Republic ad?
The Chinese see the silliness. The Busheviks don't.
I think that it's a bit more complicated than that. As I understand it, the Chinese banks are fairly overextended as it is, with losds of bad debt arising from irresponsible lending and corrupt sweetheart deals. If all their dollar holdings were to be abruptly toiletpapered by a massive dollar depreciation, I think that they would have big problems. That, and of course their single biggest market for manufactured goods would go soft if our currency died.

COLOGNE, Germany - Ghana pulled off the biggest upset of this World Cup and might have helped the United States along the way.
The first win for Africa in this tournament was a stunner, 2-0 over the same Czech Republic team that routed the Americans in their opener. Asamoah Gyan scored in the second minute Saturday and the Ghanians peppered star goalkeeper Petr Cech before getting the clincher in the 82nd.
With the victory, Ghana assured that the United States would not be eliminated from contention even with a loss later Saturday against Italy. A U.S. win would put all four teams even at three points in Group E.

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
THE POOR JUDGEMENT BY THE CAPTAIN OF THE AIRPLANE TO PERMIT THE IN-FLIGHT INSPECTION AFTER HE HAD DETERMINED TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS FULLY EXTENDED, THE POOR JUDGMENT OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE HELICOPTER TO CONDUCT THE INSPECTION, AND THE FAILURE OF THE FLIGHTCREW OF THE HELICOPTER TO MAINTAIN SAFE SEPARATION. CONTRIBUTINGTO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE INCOMPLETE TRAINING AND CHECKING THAT THE FLIGHTCREW OF N3645D RECEIVED FROM LYCOMING AIR SERVICE AND THE FAA PRINCIPAL OPERATIONS INSPECTOR ASSIGNED TO THE OPERATOR.

But - I am a kindly old historian.....
My cousin Margot Kidder is what kindly old historians look like. I thought everyone knew that.
Regarding reclassifying ketchup as a vegetable.
First, tomatoes are a fruit. Secondly, my ex BF's brother-in-law owned a vegan food company (Tree of Life) selling "ketchup" 100 % dried tomato with spices and spring water.
They were sued by Heinz and Kraft to the effect that real ketchup had to have vinegar in it. A feature of the lawsuit was that the accusees' ketchup could go bad fast, but people were used to ketchup lasting forever.
Therefore all-natural ketchup wasn't ketchup
"god, we really need to start building shit again. i wonder if it's even possible to rebuild the manufacturing base in this country.

Sure we can, dan. Let's build solar dish-engines to power our country with sunlight...it'd take about a 10-hp (which is 5.5kw) unit to power the average home with juice to spare, feeding the grid, which we then use as just a battery...
Sure we can, dan. Let's build solar dish-engines to power our country with sunlight
There's some company in AZ playing with a solar heated stirling cycle engine to do just that. I think the prototype is 20 or 30KW. (they were thinking of powering up several houses.)
I have been wondering what to do with this person.
It is an insoluble pancake.
