I suppose he would feed on the brains of former republicans, although that wouldn’t sustain him for long
Tru Dat.
Don’t need Ronnie, we have Romney.
Romney would’ve won this year too. He would’ve trumped Obama on the economy, and unlike McCain, he could’ve slammed Obama for voting for the bailout (assuming Obama still would’ve if Romney was the nominee). That would’ve been the turning point.
(note this post is in no way a reflection of my own political beliefs, just my own political observations)
And Romney wouldn’t have picked that MORON as his running mate. A good 20% of my Obama vote was “no way am I letting that old fool and that brainless Chrstio-Fascist Barbie doll anywhere near my White House.” If Romney had been running I’d probably have been like, still trying to decide in the voting booth.
I can say that much of my vote was biased against Palin. I’ve never seen a politician that I could actively despise until her. To be fair I’m young, born in late 80’s, but still…If Romney were up I would have been more attentive to everything
Romney wouldn’t have carried his current ‘home’ state of Massachusetts. We know what a fsck-up he really is!
Actually, we know what a “fsck-up” Massachusetts is.
Actually, speak for yourself.
Mass rocks!
True – after all, they keep electing the drunk driver murderer & Lurch to Congress.
Honestly, i thought mcCain seemed to have some merit until the “bomb iran” song deal. That “joke” was so tasteless it was, to me, showing a certain callousness and psychopathness, I immediately thought “Why the DEVIL are people not instantly calling his campaign dead? Joking about starting to bomb another country into kingdom come is just … NOT. SANE.”
.
But yeah. I guess I’m just a naive crazy friggin hippie for thinking bombing != insta-democracy.
.
(In case anyone wonders – yeah I’m way beyond “pissed off” on the mood scale tonight.)
Dunno, man, I think the Republican brand was too tarnished this year. If the Dems had nominated another old white guy, we would have won in an even bigger landslide!
True, that’s probably why they are saving Romney for 2012…
That right there? Thats called ignorance.
Who are you, and what have you done with PM?
Sorry, I was feeling pretty grumpy this morning. Still, the fact that we elected an African American in spite of a significant number of racists in our nation was incredible. Hillary would have faced equal challenges if she’d gotten the nomination, maybe worse. A nice, safe, old white guy would have lulled the up tight paternal white racists into voting democratic in larger numbers, is all.
Don’t get me wrong, I think we elected the right Pres, if we couldn’t have Kucinic.
Thank you for clearing up the fact that you are not a racist. Your post was easier to read the wrong way. Now that you’ve clarified, I agree with you. It would have been an uphill climb for any Democratic candidate, had Bush not been such a dismal flock-up.
Actually, I’m pretty sure I’m a racist. I’m not rabid about it or anything, but sometimes, in my unguarded moments, I find myself despising certain people for certain things they do. Then, I realize that my inner thoughts are sometimes at odds with what I know to be right. Then, I despise myself for having racist thoughts.
Hey! Asian drivers! I’m talkin’ to you!
When you combine racism with road rage it makes sense, in the weirdest of ways…
)
Is that racist? I always believed racism and other such things to be beliefs, not just thoughts. Obviously you know it’s wrong, you don’t believe the racism or you wouldn’t feel much guilt at all. I have moments of unguarded nastiness. seeing people act on negative stereotypes usually, but I do not believe it at all. We can all better ourselves, keep those thoughts away just like we shouldn’t think bad things should happen to people, but I don’t think it makes someone racist.
Sometimes it’s tough not to be. Hell, I worked at red lobster for
a while. You’re pretty much guaranteed to be at least a little racist after that.
I wonder how many people voted FOR Obama simply BECAUSE he is black? Hmmm, that would qualify as racist also.
Also probably ignorant/uninformed. That’s just as bad IMO.
I dunno, Obama got a lot of attention and enthusiasm because he wasn’t yet another old white guy. Hard to tell if it canceled out the people who didn’t vote for him because he wasn’t an old white guy.
You have a very good point.
But he is half old white guy, so who knows if that’s accurate…
“Romney would’ve won this year too…”
And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!
Woops, didn’t finish.
I don’t think there’s ever been an election whose focus changed as much from primary season to the election itself as this one. In Spring, the focus was Iraq, so McCain won the nomination. But in Fall, the focus was all on the economy. I don’t recall such a drastic shift… well, ever.
I do.. Jimmy Carter.. But then I’m old enough to remember and vote.
Romney? Seriously?
.
Romney’s got all the spine of a slinky. He changed his stance on issues on nearly a daily basis. The man will say anything to anyone to get a vote. He went again all !his! successes as governor because they programs were too Democrat.
I don’t really get the Romney-love either.
You just described every politician that ever breathed.
And Obama was incapable of actually taking a stance on any issue. What’s the real difference?
Incapable of taking a stance on any issue? Did you watch the debates? Visit the official website that explains all of this in clear format?
Romney? Seriously?
A guy who says crap this like…
“my view on marriage has been entirely consistent over my political career. And that is that I oppose same-sex marriage. I also oppose civil unions…ever since [same-sex marriage] became a prominent [feature] in my state, with the decision of the Supreme Judicial Court, I have taken every action that I could conceive of within the bounds of the law to defend traditional marriage and to stop same-sex marriage”
That’s a guy you want in the White House? A guy who not only doesn’t care that loving couples are unable to marry, but actively works to make sure they will never know that joy?
You forget, that’s a plus to a lot of people…
Now if he said the unintelligent shouldn’t be allowed to breed, I’d be right there with him.
…wait, “former” republicans?
Yeah, I saw that too and “What the..?”
Yeah, I saw that too and “What the..?”
Clearly any politician’s brain would not be sufficient sustenance for this man. If it is not quite clear why, take a look at things and realize politics are something too great for politicians to handle. No man, not democratic nor republican, nor anything else, has the ability to handle the thing our country needs most kept in order. I say we disband the government and have a ruling system based on each other keeping things in check. There are holes in this plot, but the government has so many holes, it looks like Swiss Cheese.
Nah, with Blago, Jefferson and a sure to grow crop of other Dem fails, it won’t be necessary to resurrect Ronnie.
All of which pales in comparison to the constitution ignoring Bush administration.
Republicans need to stop vetting neo-conservatives, it’s as simple as that. Quit looking for another Reagan and start looking for another Eisenhower. John McCain and Ron Paul were the closest things to true conservatives in recent years and they were either laughed off stage, or they caved into pressure to the point that they were neo-conservatives.
Yeah, you just keep thinking that, and go quietly back to sleep.
Uhhhhhhhhhh… wut? Blago and Jefferson are supposed to make us forget Bush, Cheney, Abramoff, Rumsfeld, Brown, Chertoff, Cunningham… et cetera, ad infinitum… ?? Yeah, not really gonna happen, but you keep right on wishing there Sparky.
This reminded me of one of my favorite webcomics. Click name, please!
As someone who graduated from high school in 1987, I can honestly say there are alot of things that are better left back in the 80’s…like Rainbow Brite, Acid-washed jeans, Hyper-colr shirts, New Kids on The Block, Parachute Pants, Mullets, Fawn Hall, Big-Hair (including crimper), Rat Tails and Huey Lewis and the News…
Eww, mullets and big hair never actually went away in some corners of the country…
*points to jersey*
I like Huey Lewis, and having graduated in 1990- I completely agree- what WERE we thinking with peg legging pants to make our buts look as big as possible? And as a point of information- Ema is correct, when I return to Nebraska, rat tails, claw bangs, big hair, are still there. And NKOB while truly SUCKING, are no worse than the barrage of 4-5 boy bands that took over music in the mid-late 1990s and stayed until a year or two ago—
Other 1980s things that we DO want to see more of: I LOVE 80s music, MTV played music most of the time, prom was the only formal wear required dance each year, cell phones were not in classrooms, Tom Cruise was not creepy, ok I think that was it- I like now better for the most part-
.
Michael Jackson was still black, MTV played VIDEOS, Elton John was married to a woman, Keith Richards looked like death…oh wait…
Um. Elton married to a woman was pretty farcical, even then. LOL
Also, it depends which 80’s music dropping in is referring to before we decide if ewe want more of it to come back. NKOTB and Tiffany, etc, can stay in the 80’s. If we’re talking about the rock scene, I’m ok with it. We had everything from The Cars, Rush, Genesis, Police, to Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Van Halen, Metallica, Def Leppard, etc. Good times.
Exactly…the good music from the 80’s is still good today…I remember skipping school to get U2’s The Joshua Tree…just a couple more for you: Peter Gabriel, The Cult, The Church ( I was into “Alternative Music”, but am a “Rocker” at heart)
We had a big discussion yesterday about how music hasn’t been nearly as inventive and artistic since the 80s. Today it’s mostly commercialized crap played by recycled bands with minimal talent.
amen to that…..why is it so hard nowadays to make genuinely good music?
Def Leppard is still around, and I can vouch for the fact that they
still put on one hell of a show.
Duh…As are many of those other bands, of course. Just haven’t seen any of them in concert in the past few years, which is why my comment was DL specific.
Def Leppard was the very beginning of what we have in big-business music today, namely “They wouldn’t have a job if some exec who couldn’t tell decent music if his life depended on it hadn’t given them a contract practically sight unseen.” Now we have nothing, absolutely nothing, but music created, produced and engineered by and for giant corporations and performed by kids with fleeting good looks and absolutely zero talent. No, not zero, NEGATIVE talent; if someone else talented shows up they actually suck it out of them.
You want real music, you’re not gonna get it from any commercial enterprise in the United States, that’s for damned sure.
Can you keep 4-4 time on drums if I rip one of your arms off?
Thank you, UF.
Meh. Talking about “real music” as if such a thing exists, automagically renders any other “points” in the post null and void. Null. AND void.
*says quietly* Erm, I like Huey Lewis too…
We all have our “guilty pleasures”…
Me too. Actually I may throw some on my ipod. I’ve been pretty into the talking heads lately too. That song “Nothing but flowers” is freakin awesome.
Still chuckle when I see “hypercolor.” In the early 90s I saw a kid wearing a regular old tie-dye T-shirt with the words
HIPPERCOLOR
Don’t do jack
On the front. I lol’d so hard I almost fell over.
Nice…I was just glad they didn’t come up with hypercolor pants, there would have been lots of ’splainin to do
I lived through the eighties, but I’ll be darned if I remember “Hypercolor”.
I don’t remember hypercolor either. Perhaps it was regional??
They were t-shirts that changed color due to body heat…they’d start purple and progress to pink, or green to yellow…
Oh, that’s what they’re called? Those are still around. My little brother has one.
I’ve heard of them, but never seen one ‘walking’ or on a shelf. And I survived the 80’s, too!
Which means everybody always had yellow armpits. It was charming, really.
VERY POOR TASTE IN MY OPINION!!!! The man is deceased, give him a little respect.
NOT FUNNY AT ALL!
i really hope you were being sarcastic. if not, good lord grow a sense of humor.
Maybe katsRme is right, maybe it’s too soon. *snicker*
I thought it was pretty good although there are funnier things about…
Wow…
You must have had a huge bowl of serious for breakfast this morning…
You people need to learn the difference between disrespect and funny. The ones about the Illinois Gov, were funny, this is not.
uh oh, we found someone who can’t handle the fact that reagan is dead and the republican party isn’t doing so hot!
damn near bordering on trolling….
Ok, I troll, just have never seen anything I thought was worth commenting on. The comments are funnier that the captions most of the time. You guys are a bunch of pervs. Who cares if the republicans aren’t doing so hot. Neither are the democrats, ie Illinois!? How about how many of them have been caught fooling around. I am just of the opinion that Reagan was a good man and doesn’t deserve to be made fun of. But, if you look at in the context that even if he was resurected he couldn’t save the reps., you have a point.
Ignoring the sheer crazy quotient in that comment and the fact that you admitted you were trolling, I don’t think this lol is making fun of Reagan. It’s making fun of the Republican party.
Kuromisa, I think it’s time to build a “troll-bear”!!!;-)
Reagan was NOT a “good” man to many of us kiddo- he did some good things, and many bad for this country- including making up the myth of the welfare queen subsidizing her Cadillac with govt money- this particular load of crap has been found to be completely unfounded. Having volunteered with the foster card system in this country for 10 years, I can tell you that getting welfare benefits is damn near a full time job- they put those folks through the ringer. Personally I supported and continue to support welfare reform- but pretending that poor people are poor because they LIKE it and then spreading lies about them defrauding the govt while he was supplying arms to IRAN (GReAT IDEA that turned out to be!), and playing god with other countries leadership and then crying when our hand picked dictators turned on us is not a legacy to be proud of. Reagan is not the only one who did this. But in doing so, he does not get the “good man” title. That is reserved for hard working, family supporting, loving men like my grandfather- not Reagan. Reagan screwed the middle class while lying to their faces- I make fun of him daily- and I can laugh at Clinton, and Kennedy- get a funny bone life is too short to whine about politicians.
Well hooray for you! Apparently you can’t read. I said I thought he was a good man. I didn’t say I liked his policies. My grandmother died from alzheimers. At the last it was like talking to the wall. It was heartbreaking for everyone in the family. If a person can’t have an opinion on this site there is no sense in commenting at all.
You can have an opinion. Just like we can have the opinion that you’re batsh*t crazy. If, however, you feel your civil rights are being trampled on and would like to stop commenting in protest, I don’t think anyone would try and talk you out of it (well, we might, but it’d only be because your brand of crazy is freaking hilarious).
First off, my minor irritation: Nobody dies of ‘Alzheimer’s’. You die of pneumonia, septicaemia form urinary tract infections or bed sores, or the level of morphine they pump you with when feeding is withdrawn since you can no longer swallow and are mostly vegetative.
Secondly: My sympathies for your loss, but this isn’t about his Alzheimers, but about the fact the only way the Reps have a snowball’s chance in hell in ‘12 is if they get Reagan to rise from his grave… OK, I have a blacker sense of humour rthan most, but you’re just seeing a slight where there is none.
Finally, my qualification: Sat that watch, signed those papers and hope when my time comes there’s as steady a hand on the knife as mine was when I finally signed off on no treatment other than palliative, got the morphine started, and got the DNR in place… Then sat the rest of that watch…
“I said I thought he was a good man. I didn’t say I liked his policies. My grandmother died from alzheimers. At the last it was like talking to the wall. It was heartbreaking for everyone in the family.”
Lisa: What makes Timmy a hero?
Homer [exasperated]: He fell down a well!
You didn’t mention how he somehow managed to make “liberal” into an insult. I’m like, wha? He’s a what? A LIBERAL? OMG call the polizei!!
“making up the myth of the welfare queen subsidizing her Cadillac with govt money”
Yeah, for godsakes, don’t give money to the poor, because they’ll just spend it on cheap, fakey-looking hair dye… oh, wait.
I vaguely remember something about Reagan’s Contra buddies making crack huge in poor communities. I may be mistaken though.
Ooh, good idea! I already know which one I’d use. *plots*
First, fooling around isn’t breaking any laws. Trust, sure. Laws, nope. Second, what do you mean the Democrats aren’t doing so hot? Blago is one person who no one else in the party is touching with a ten foot pole. That doesn’t compare to Stevens, Abramoff, Cunningham, Libby who have all been convicted and the Republicans rallied around. There’s also a list of people who haven’t been convicted but are known to be just as corrupt: Bush, Cheney, Rove, et. al. I know the election was SO long ago, but let me refresh your memory, the Dems picked up a fair amount of seats in Congress and won the presidency. I think the Dems are pretty hot right now.
You forgot the sex-scandal guys, like Craig, David Vitter, Mark Foley, ted Haggard….
I think I may be biased by my major a bit. When I hear of a sex scandal I’m not terribly surprised, nor find it terribly scadalous. “Men in power are sleeping around? oh wait yeah…victorian ideals” There is a supreme difference between being a politician and breaking the law, and being human and failing to rise above human nature.
Tweaking while paying to be buggered, while publicly pouring vitriol on all gay people, monogamous and otherwise, is ‘failing to rise above human nature’, while
don’t know where the second ‘while’ comes from… that should read
I had already said that fooling around wasn’t breaking any laws. I’m more concened with the people who are doing illegal things while running the country.
@minerva146 – speaking of the sex-scandal guys – a really great book is “You Don’t Know Me – A Citizen’s Guide to Republican Family Values” by Win McCormack. Over 100 cases of sexual misconduct by various Republican officials, office holders and their supporters. Yes, yes, yes, I know the Dems are perfectly capable of sexual hypocrisy but they weren’t the ones who linked themselves with the Moral Majority nor presented themselves as more moral than thou (not thou personally of course).
That would be Deathwurm… he’ll be along later to hand you your pathetic ass…
I’m not real sure why we even got called pervs on this one. The whole ginger conversation, sure, I’d understand that, but who is lusting after Zombie Reagan? Ewwwwwwwwww…
I thought that was more of a reference to “in general” rather than
specific to this thread: “The comments are funnier that the captions most of the time. You guys are a bunch of pervs.” Of course I also thought it was complimentary.
Even when they mean it in a derogatory way I’d take it as a compliment.
Now you mention it… the idea is slightly arousing…
rigor mortis?
habeas corpus
“who is lusting after Zombie Reagan?”
`
Nancy?
Perv? No, I am a depraved sexual deviant. Thank you.
Fooling around is a matter between the parties involved, not us. We have also been putting the idiot of Illinois through the comment wringer too so why would a dead guy stop us? Why exactly are you so hard up for him? Was he your boyfriend? Do you miss that old veiny hunk of love deep inside your pert little bowels? Is that what it is?
We made a comment about Zombie Reagan, as if he could come back from the dead. We could only be so lucky to have a zombie running for president. Would make shotgunning his undead ass all the more epic. It’s a compliment. Grow some balls unless your “Daddy” Reagan took them with when he left your dripping form last.
There, NOW he has been insulted. And by insulted, I mean insinuating that a twit like you would have gotten near him. Care to come up with an actual argument or does the butthurt of him leaving you still sting?
I said you’d hand ass…
You certainly did. I was feeling petty so I went with it.
A perv? You sound more voyeuristic….
Tomayto, tomahto
Would you have preferred “Cyborg-Reagan”? I didn’t find it disrespectful…I think it would have been disrespectful had they said something disrespectful of the man himself.
What specifically was it that you found disrespectful?
Ekshually… hmm. I think Cyborg-Reagan is funnier.
I agree, just calling someone a name because you don’t like them or agree with their politics is not funny.
Hang on – now I feel lost. This lol isn’t calling anyone a name, as I read it? If that was what you meant, please explain?
You don’t think calling someone a zombie is calling them a name? Zombie is kind of derogatory, would you call JFK a zombie? I wouldn’t.
Oh. I read it as the lol indicating that Reagan was so good that even in a reanimated form, he would be much better than the republicans currently standing in line to run in 2012. So if anything, I would say that the only name-calling I see is calling cuurent reps “less promising than a Reagan in zombie form”. I didn’t at all read it as “Reagan is a zombie”. That’d make no sense at all.
“reps”? I meant to write “current republicans”.
P
I guess that’s a way to interpret it too. Ok, that’s not as bad I guess, but it’s not true! ; )
I have way too little knowledge about republican candidates-to-be to tell if it could be true. But I’d rather think that an undead Reagan (still no offense meant, since it’s just an imaginary deal and whatnot) would be far better for the health of the world than, say, a live Palin. ;oP (YES, she’s scaring me. )
WOuld have to agree there- but a close race to the lesser of two evils IMO
Zombies are pretty cool actually. I’d vote for a zombie.
Yeah, same. I read it as saying that the only way the Republicans could win the election in 2012 is if they resurrected Reagan as a zombie.
Me too. With the frequency of his name use by the GOPs, I was beginning to wonder if they weren’t trying to summon him back from the grave.
A Reagan-summoning chant? I’d buy that. Think it works for other people, too? Could I resurrect, say, George Carlin like that?
*using chanting voice* “Trickle Down…Trickle Down”
Okay, that has WIN all over it. The very thought has me scared of trickling down…my leg.
i read it that way too.
Me three.
I’m thinking katsRme miss-interpreted the intention, due to her family experience with Alzheimer’s. I know Reagan had that condition, but that is not the first thing which comes into my mind when I see a picture of him.
“I didn’t at all read it as “Reagan is a zombie”. That’d make no sense at all.”
`
Yeah, zombies like brains.
It’s been working for Rob Zombie…but seriously, I’m not disagreeing with you, ema, but I don’t think the point of this Lol was to call Reagan a zombie, I took it to mean that if Reagan came back as a zombie, that might be the only chance the Rep’s have…maybe we all need to lighten up a bit…
Of course, if I’d hit the refresh button before I posted…
I’m all for lightening up! I guess because Reagan was actually pretty old when he was president and then died with Alzheimers it’s just a little bit of a sensitive subject for some to see him summoned as a zombie in a lol IMHO. But I’m not offended by it, I really don’t think it’s that funny…
If Reagan came back as a zombie…I would totally vote for him. Well, provided he promised not to eat anyones brains while in office… And I’m a “left-wing-nut-job”.
In my opinion, it was intended as a compliment. “Best Republican EVAR!” sort of thing…
Agreed…although it would make those “White House Dinners” REALLY interesting…
“welcome to the white house. tonight we’ll be dining in the main room. please make sure your foil hats are well secured, mr. president may try to eat your brains if they’re not. the menu for tonight is….”
-
it’d be fun! survival of the fittest and all. the idiot who forgets their hat doesn’t go home.
You could even put them on pay-per-view and have the economy fixed in no time!!!!
And strangely enough, Bill and Hillary keep declining invitations
If JFK was resurrected from the dead, then yeah, I’d call him a zombie.
since most of Kennedy’s brain was shot out of his skull, can he become a zombie? Head shots finish them in movies, so a perimortem headshot will surely preclude the creation, no matter what crashes or arrives from space…
Well, while I’m not zombie expert, I’d say that I don’t think ALL zombie movies operate on the permise of headshots being the end of zombies. I’ll stand by my statement that the only real way to be sure a zombie isn’t coming back is the prudent use of flamethrowers.
Possibly.
Personally, if I were to be offended by anything about this post, it is the fact of more modern zombie movies allowing their monsters to SPRINT. NO, NO, a thousand times NO!! Zombies are supposed to be lumbering dolts from whom the average person can flee not track stars that chase you down!! WRONG!!!!
Okay, what was everyone talking about?
Since the thing is decaying, you’d think the strains of running with just result in a putrid stain on the floor…
They sprint in “I am legend” but they’re not proper dead-people-type zombies….
Actually ( According to the original story ) the things in “I am legend” are vampires not zombies. you can tell because he uses blood to draw them in and never go out into the daylight if they can help it.
they never that is
The Vampires in IAL, both the book and the movie, have metabolic processes, so they’re not actually ‘undead’
Well the Zombie Survival Guide says that the most effective method of killing a zombie is a head shot, while most modern warfare techniques are completely ineffective.
Even if you decapitate a zombie, the head may still be dangerous on its own.
I was always under the impression that decapetation was the only sure way to kill a zombie though destruction of the brain often works.
Flamethrowers+zombie= bad idea. Just thinks about it, it would probably take them a while to stop moving so you wouldn’t just be dealing with ultra-strong flesh-eating maniacs, you’d be dealing with ultra-strong, flesh eating maniacs ON FIRE! Scary…
Well, I’m just saying your head shots are fine and all, just have a little bit of prudence and go clean up with the flamethrower. Burn them down to ashes so they don’t get back up when your back is turned. You can just never be too careful with zombies.
The ash might exert its evil will and blow into your mouth and nose and kill you…
I think you’d have to put Zombie LBJ’s brain in as a replacement.
Zombie is derogatory?
Would you prefer Zombie American or perhaps Living Impaired?
Crikey and people complain about liberals being PC.
Equal rights for the Undead!… It’s times like this the veil of between our reality and that of the Discworld seems awfully thin…
One half expects Reg Shoe to show up any minute
It’s time to come out of the coffin!
Nothing to loose but your winding sheet!
Pratchett FTW!
Not undead, but differently alive!
Respiratorily challenged?
I wouldn’t call JFK a zombie because I’m fairly certain that could never happen. “Removing the head or destroying the brain..”
Maybe the difference between disrespect and funny for you is that ‘funny’ doesn’t have an R in it.
Sounds like a personal problem to me.
Well, really the difference between disrespect and funny = 5.
Isn’t it fun when someone new enters the comments section and announces what we “need” to do? We “need” to acquire the exact same tastes in humor? What?
I think we’re dealing with a better-than-average troll here. There was capitalization, punctuation, and only one run-on sentence. In trolldom, he’s a curve-breaker, to be sure.
Who wants to read through all the whining though?
So… let me see if I got this whole disrespect vs. funny thing down. It’s disrespect when you agree with the guys political views and funny when you don’t? Or maybe it’s disrespect when the man in question is dead and funny when they’re not?
Well… The “zombie” bit wouldn’t be funny if he wasn’t deceased.
.
And yes, this caption is pretty funny. And no, it’s not particularly disrespectful, quite the opposite, imo.
Hahahah! Oh, Hahahahahah! Hahahah- oh, wait, you’re serious. Too sad.
Oh please, Ronnie had a better since of humor than you and probably would have laughed at it. Go away and come back when you have found a broader perspective on life.
Eddie, A bit off topic, but are you from Austrailia? One of my all-time favorite bands is from there and wanted to know if they’re still around…The Church???
I’m not from Australia, I just live here since my wife is and doesn’t want to live in the States. I can’t say that I have ever heard of The Church, but it looks like they’re still around (click on my name).
-
Other notable bands/musicians from Australia:
Cold Chisel
Jimmy Barnes
Eskimo Joe
Paul Kelly
Evermore
Killing Heidi
-
That’s just a few that I can think of.. there’s heaps more out there. I’m sure PiMan and a couple of the other Aussie’s that show up here could add their personal favorites as well.
Thanks…thought of Crowded House…
Oh right, but they sort of ‘arrived’ didn’t they (in a couple of incarnations if I remember right)?
AC/DC, The Living End.
Midnight Oil were good in their time, not sure if they did much outside Australia.
A small number here may know of folk singer, Eric Bogle. He isn’t Australian, but he’s lived most his life here.
Beds are Burning was a UK hit… don’t know about on Continental Europe
Big in the US too…
Not as big as “Beds are Burning,” but “The Dead Heart” received a fair amount of U.S. airplay.
Also “King of the Mountain”. I have some of their cds.
Eds, you forgot to mention your fave singer ever, Peter Garrett!
Oh yeah, that guy! *rollseyes*
)
I thought Reagan was already a zombie when he was president.
Close, but the real zombie of course was Strom Thurmond.
In terms of 1980s politicos, only G.H. Bush was ever credited with eating human flesh by David Icke…
Followed closely by Jesse Helms.
He died just this past July 4, so watch out.
“Followed closely by Jesse Helms.
He died just this past July 4″

Yeah, 50 years too late to do any good, and 6 months too early to see Barack Obama take the oath of office. Even in death, the man is a colossal pain in the ass.
But at what point does a zombie become a mummy? They have to be preserved, for sure (to define at least) and generally they’re wrapped up in something but for all intensive purposes, mummies are just older, well preserved zombies.
You know what this lol tells me? It’s time to actually go to the voting page and start voting. It’s not bad, but….meh.
That hasn’t helped yet…
I used to vote, I got discouraged and I just don’t have the time their interface is just so slow and clunky. I there was a screen where you could see all the possible lols with check boxes next to them, then you could submit the entire page and it would be done.
I *wish* there was a screen…
I miss the old format on ICHC. The individual pics take too long to load and go through one by one. I hardly ever vote anymore.
Amen to that — Do you hear us ICHC gods? We want a better voteing page! the current one is frustratingly slow! I know its not quite Festivus yet but I’m airing my grievances anyway.
Have you brought out the pole yet?
REAGAN SMASH!!!!
Reagan….sleepy…..
Bwahahahaaha… I love that episode.
That was just wrong!! …..and funny ^_^
i would laugh but it is just way too true.
you are sorry excuses for human biengs makeing fun of the single best president ever
Mm, yeah, the guy who taught us that it’s OKAY to be in insanely ludicrous amounts of debt, as long as our military is 234348503495024359 times stronger than all the other militaries on Earth combined and there are no Commies in Europe. Oops.
Oh and as long as our rich people don’t have to pay any taxes.
And so we don’t have any regulations on our industries.
And so we can elimate that pesky middle class. Patooey!

And so we can finally give ketchup the respect it deserves!
Well, “single best President ever” is your purely subjective opinion (although I certainly found him likable enough); and, more importantly, since as far as I know Reagan remains fully and normally dead and is not a reanimated corpse, this LOL isn’t really making fun of him so much as pointing out that he was probably the single most popular Republican politician in the late 20th century and that, if he were a reanimated corpse, he would stand a better chance at winning the 2012 Presidential election than any living Republican candidates the captioner could think of.
Now that we’ve clarified the already fairly simple LOL for you, let’s discuss your posting skills. First of all, it’s b-e-i-n-g-s; secondly, it’s m-a-k-i-n-g; thirdly, “you” should be capitalized, “president” should be capitalized; you need a “for” in between “beings” and “making”; and you need some type of punctuation after “ever”.
Come to think of it, I really don’t like the way that sentence looks at all.
*grabs trollwhacking stick and glowers menacingly*
Well stated. But Ronnie’s not dead … he works at a toy store called “Shortpacked!”
The word “President” should not have been capitalized there, actually. It’s not a proper noun unless used as an honorific title, as in “When I was a child, I was really scared of President Reagan and cried every time he appeared on television.” It wasn’t until recently that I stopped being scared of the 40th president of the United States, probably because he died. Now this LOL has resuscitated my fear of Reagan by implying that he might come back as a zombie. Personally, I never understood why people perceived Reagan as kindly, grandfatherly, or charismatic. I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between zombie Reagan and regular Reagan, except that zombie Regan might focus less on overspending on defense and other facets of Reaganomics, and more on literally killing humans and eating them up, rather than metaphorically.
At least we can spell “Beings” correctly…now please take your medication.
and “making”…now go ask mommy for some petite marshmallows for your cocoa.
and everything else dissimiltude said…now go take a long nap.
Has anyone else noticed names like ‘Anonymous Republican’ are almost synonymous with ‘Icepick Lobotomy’?
LMAO!!!

Luckily, some of us Republicans maintained some of our sanity after the lobotomy.
Some of you Republicans actually give the general appearance of being normal human beings… they tend to be the ones who don’t have names that give out the fact they’re Republicans… TBH, I’d not noticed you’re a Rep, so keep up the good work.
Mission success!
Eds, you are a rare delight, truly.
Then your surgeon did it right. : D
*snicker*
anonymous republican /= Anonymous Capitalizer, it would seem.

Truly, I’ve had dark thoughts about some GOP trolls, but, from your name, it’s clear that you’re in a 12-Step Program, so I’ll cut you some slack.
I have to agree with the earlier posts.
How would that be different from his earlier administration?
Bah. Nixon in 2012. Death is no excuse!
Hippie grammar fail. There’s no apostrophe in that word!
Also, that whole ketchup thing is a myth. Reagan never proposed it, it was some minor admin flunky. And it never even made it onto paper.
But hey, if you didn’t fall for myths, you wouldn’t be Lefties!
Please to click on my name.
Arrogant bastard.
It’s always amusing when people who are too fence post dumb to make the comments nest properly chooses to lecture on ‘falling for anything’…
There is if it implies ownership, but to be fair, it should be at the end of the word.
I liked Ronald Reagan.
And he would save us recover from…
Jimmy Carter Part 2: The Barackening!
