Will Not Be Missed

Awful English person & former prime minister of Great Britain Margaret Thatcher has at last died. Obvious to us that signs of the dementia from which both alleged leaders suffered were probably kept from the public by staffers, w/ full coöperation from the liberally biased media, but eventually she & her great friend Ronald Reagan will be understood as demented, delusional & manipulated crypto-fascists.

You'd think someone who prattled so about liberty
would have let her hair free once in a while. Our guess?
Non-stop application of hairspray ate large chunks of brain.

Not that the signs weren't there: Grandiosity, bogus nostalgia, paranoia & absolute bullshit.

"When you've spent half your political life dealing with humdrum issues like the environment, it's exciting to have a real crisis on your hands." - 1982, commenting on the Falkland Islands war.

"I was asked whether I was trying to restore Victorian values. I said straight out I was. And I am." - 1983, speech to British Jewish Community.

"We had to fight the enemy without in the Falklands. We always have to be aware of the enemy within, which is much more difficult to fight and more dangerous to liberty." - On the 1984-85 miners' strike which provoked some of the fiercest union opposition to her economic policies.

"There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families."- 1987, magazine interview.

And never forget the Iron Witch's son. At least Reagan's spawn haven't done anything beyond gum-flapping.
