1. Here in California we should name Homeless Encampments...

The Ronald Reagan Homeless Encampments. He put hundreds of mentally ill
patients out of hospitals and alone on the streets when he was Governor.

7. We bought our first house in 82 with HUD money that Reagan had eliminated

We got in on the tail end of a wonderful first time homeowner program Carter had initiated. Reagan got rid of it almost as soon as he took office.

I have a hard time putting in words how deeply I despise St Ronnie of Rayguns.

13. I owned a commercial janitorial service. Our urinal cookies smelled like bubblegum.

Not sure how they tasted, I'd leave that taste test for those who appear on Texts from Last Night.

10. No, no...

Grover Norquist says he wants at least one significant item in every county in America to be named for Ronald Reagan. I say every county has prisons, jails, homeless shelters, sewage lagoons, toxic waste dumps, landfills, and fast-food grease traps that are just itching to have ol' Bankruptin' Ronnie's name emblazoned on them for all eternity.

19. I wrote an article seven years ago about a business having these type urinals...

I wrote about a bar that had urinals all hand painted to look like Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, Rice and the rest of the goons in the Bush Regime. Then a couple of years later I see someone must have read my article and made one. Good for them!

I made up a story about seven urinals, all side by side, and how guys wanted to piss on Cheney and Bush the most. Right wingers savagely attacked my idea, calling it disrespectful. But to them it's okay to go to war based on lies and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people. That's not 'disrespectful' to them.

21. The repub's "Values" are a total crock of shit.

They need to respect people who EARN respect instead of liars, cowards, posers and fools.

If the TeaBraggers ever get the upper hand, the world would be a world of shit.

17. $12.7 trillion = a pile of $100 bills 8,619 miles high - greater that the Earth's diameter.

Actually, the current figure varies between $12.5 and $13 trillion depending upon the source, but in any event, it passed up the Earth's diameter long ago. Mathematics supplied upon request in case anyone is interested.
