DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEID!

[The Good Reverend Roger]

We still have Kim Jong-un.  And the crazy Chavismo candidate in Venezuela.  And, uh, Berlusconi.

Fuck.

Kim Jong-Un is a puppet. 

Chavismo candidate is a cheap knockoff of The Man.

Berlusconi is a small time piker.

THEY'RE ALL GONE, CAIN!   

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Most places round here let people go at mid-day.

Many shops (selling booze) actually queued out the door.

This is the happiest I have ever seen this town.

I was very young, but I remember the parties when Nixon scurried out of office.

I imagine this is similar.

I remember when Reagan got shot. People who never even talked to me before were shoving joints and wine bottles at me and going "WOOHOOOOO I HOPE THAT MOTHERFUCKER DIES!" 
And there was celebration and literal dancing in the streets. 

Not by me.  I knew what was actually going to happen.

Yeah. But it was cool seeing everybody so happy.
While it lasted.

No.  We still have Putin.

He is our only hope now.

Not for me.  I could see Reagan having a blank cheque for the rest of his career, or his successor (GHWB).  I knew that it would result in the po'buckers having their day for decades.

Consider:  How many people even seriously suggested that Reagan, Bush, or that fuckwad North be held accountable for Iran/Contra?

Putin doesn't laugh wickedly enough, and he doesn't flaunt his crapping on of the poor/downtrodden.

He has class, and a certain style, but his evil isn't very muhaha, if you catch my drift.

[Junkenstein]

It's almost surreal.

What can I expect tomorrow atmosphere-wise? I'd like this to last the week but I get the feeling that the joy glands will have recovered by tomorrow.

And I have, the monsters of today are youtube voicedubed remixed to all kinds of petty non-hilarity. Even Bush never captured the outright "Fuck you" of Daddy.

Or Reagan.  Or, even moreso, of Thatcher.

I like my villains larger than life.  I like them to be outright Evil, with a capital E.  Now all I have is simpering little shitnecks from New York and Virginia, who neither keep a straight face nor have the GUTS to laugh evilly, in the style of Jeremy Irons.

Maggie Thatcher did all of that.  She's gone, and now you have Dozy Dave.  All the squick, none of the glorious assbattery and/or hollow laughter in marble halls.

Just evil with a small e.

Small e is right. The real monsters are safely in the shadows now with bumbling puppets to play with when inclined.

I hold out a little hope for a magnificent bastard ending to the Berlusconi saga. You never know.

A part of me wishes Jong-Un would just call the UN and demand all sanctions lifted and ONE TRILLION DOLLA in a full on bond villan style. Just threaten to launch a rocket. Not at anywhere in particular. That's how you do terrorism. Random Nuke. What's to lose?

But we won't see this. Just shits and posturing while the recession fades and another glorious round of credit can be cast anew for the eventual benefit of few.

Edit for idiot typo.

Yeah. I had sense enough to know there were going to be repurcussions and lashing out at all of us, but I had no idea how goddamn LONG it would go on.

The driverside rear wheel of the roommate's car picked up a nail. So we went to the tire shop to get it fixed. They have a big screen TV in the little waiting area.

Everyone was talking about Thatcher being dead. Lots of people saying "This woman defined my entire generation's idea of politics."

I understand now, why we are so fucked.

Oh Fox News, your LULZ are so LULZY.

Being forcefed FOX in public spaces is always enlightening. And nauseating.

It's really hard to describe the 80s.
