I’ve spent the last two days with Brook trying to get her to focus on her history final. It has been brutal. Try explaining the horror of the Reagan years to someone who has never known anything but trickle down economics. “It was bad, you had to be there” {{shudder}} That just doesn’t convey the awfulness of what Reagan, the Southern Strategy, Jesse Helms’ Quota ad and Anita Bryant did to us. Morning in America it wasn’t . Remember when Barack Obama said he admired Reagan? Kind of makes you throw up a little in the mouth, doesn’t it?
Anyway, she just went into one of the sound proof booths of the library for the three hour ordeal. Wish her luck.
