The eight long years from Jan. 20, 1981-Jan. 20,1989. The Republican president, Ronald Wilson Reagan worked hard as commander in chief in the war on the middle class. The heinous eCONomic policy called "trickle down economics" or Reganomics cut taxes on the big businesses and the rich. This shifted the tax burden to the middle class and tripled the national debt. Dennis Miller described "trickle down" best when he acknowledged this truth: "they admit it-- they're gonna piss on you!"
Along with the terrible eCONomic policy, Ronald Reagan worked to destroy unions (remember air traffic controllers' strike?) During the Reagan Administration, the U.S. backed Saddam Hussein during his war with Iran and helped to establish the Taliban to help Afganistan fight off the Soviet Union. (Funny how the G.O.P. changed course on this)

Overall, the Reagan Administration was an awful, inept or just plain evil bunch of crooks. The bad effects of this era are still haunting us 20 years later.
The fact that theRepublican Party idolizes Reagan today is mind boggling!

Get the Reagan Administration mug.An awesome, yet little know in U.S.A, 70s metal band. The band, from Cardiff, Whales; had a major impact on metal bands of the 80s and 90s. The sound is a combination of Rush and Black Sabbath. Burke Shelly (bass/vocals), Tony Bourge (guitar), and Ray Phillips (drums). Shelly's voice resembles Getty Lee and Bourge's hard driving guitar riffs resemble Black Sabbath.
Budgie is underrated but very influentual. Metallica is a big fan of Budgie, they even recorded their song "Breadfan."

Get the Budgie mug.Rep. Joe Barton (R) Texas
Joe Barton is the fuckwit who, during his opening remarks at congressional hearings on the BP Oil spill actually apologized to Tony Hayward!! Barton thought the Obama Administration treated the BP C.E.O. unfairly after his company caused the worst environmental disaster in American history! Most people were annoyed because Obama didn't deal more harshly with Hayward and BP, but not this Big Oil Texan.

Get the Joe Barton mug.Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States of America. The most intelligent and articulate man to live in the White House in decades! He has a wife and 2 kids and actually knows what "family values" really means. He actually cares about people and he is working hard to make the world a better place for ALL Americans.
Since day one, Obama has been working hard to fix the heinous disaster George W Bush (a.k.a. W) left behind. Since the G.O.P. thinks ol' Dubya was so great, they have a to fight to maintain their republitard status quo, by trying to derail Obama. The neocon fuckwits are calling Obama a liberal and a socalist. He is really just a good man in a bad shituation and the bailouts of big corporations was actually started by Bush. Obama is continuing those programs and also helping our auto industry. He knows (as well as anyone with any sense) that with our Big 3 car companies, failure is not an option. We must all work together to get ourselves and our country out the the Bush Depression and work to prevent this kind of disaster from happening again! Obama can make America great again but he needs help from Congress and each one of us to do it. So let's all work together!

Get the Obama mug.An underhanded way to avoid lying under oath. The term is derived from Ronald Reagan's comments and testimony during the Iran-Contra hearings. When asked difficult questions about his involvement in illeagally funding the Contras, rather than pleading the 5th he would just say "I don't recall."
Usually when someone refuses to answer a question during testimony they look guilty, Reagan just sounded like a dumbass. Was it just a scam or had the alzheimers already started to affect him?

When testifying during the senate hearings, Tony Hayward, was reaganing when he said he was "not involved in that decision," several times, rather than admit the truth: BP fucked up!

Get the reaganing mug.Vast right wing conspiracy is a term first used by Hillary Clinton to describe the opposition movement, and their bullshit, during her husband Bill Clinton's presidency. This was a REAL problem. David Brock provides a look inside and confesses to being a part of it in his book "Blinded by the Right."
There were many people opposed to Clinton's progressive ideas and the right-wing segment of the population was trying hard to disrupt his agenda. (see White Water, travelgate, Monica Lewinsky, American Spectator) Luckily for Clinton, and America as a whole, he was able to accomplish many good things, like balancing the budget for the first time in 30 years!
Many people think that the conspiracy was just about the Clintons, but other democrats have faced it too.
Some examples: John Kerry 2004 swift boat veterans for truth, the Obama birther bullshit, the death panels bullshit and all this Obama is socialist bullshit!

The vast right wing conspiracy is alive and well during the Obama Administration. The G.O.P. is still spreading bullshit lies about where Obama was born, spreading lies to scare people away from Health Care reform, and trying to kill anything they consider "progressive."

Get the vast right wing conspiracy mug.A weak movement trying to make a statement about the bad practices at BP (a.k.a. British Petroleum)
Boycotting BP to protest their oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is a lot more logical than the fuckwitted "boycott France movement of 2001-2006. France was right and made the responsible choice to not participate in George w. Bush's Iraq War.
