ChuckODoes Ray come here to play anymore?
Mr. B, How can I get in touch with Mr. Jonas from Greentown? I could use some of his magic, and then to pass it on. I think the whole world could use some of that.

Getting in touch with a Mr. Jonas of Greentown may be tough, but here's a magician that performed his magic at a Ray Bradbury play. Ray sat in the first row, enjoying the performance I am sure.

ChuckOThank you for the welcome! The video was cute: 'Dr. Bullslinger'. I'll have to use that name somewhere. Sounds like some friends of mine.
Did you know your name 'Nard Kordell' is an anagram for 'Lord Rankled'? There are actually quite a few other things in there as well. I saw your name and wondered if there was more to it. Sorry if it seems rude, but I often sense more in words than meets the eye.
You sent me a video link, I send you this: http:\\wordsmith.org\anagram
You can have a lot of fun with it.

Nard KordellI kinda like:
Darn Lord Elk
There's something about that name!

ChuckOOne last thought: a true anagram
"Ronald Wilson Reagan" => "Insane Anglo Warlord"
Thats pretty funny, even if it isn't true.

That doesn't fit, of course. A large number of people thought Reagan was going to bring us to war with Russia with such a massive US build-up of weapons. Of course, Russia wanted to stay competitive and, of course, it finally bankrupted Russia and the Soviet Republic vaporized without the use of weapons.
So it would follow that when the wall in Berlin was torn down, the world went crazy for a long while...with joy!

ChuckOYep! Reagan did some good things.

Braling IILimbaugh often refers to him as Ronaldus Magnus.

Yeah - mostly slept.
But he and John Paul II
were most responsible for tearing down that wall. I will give him that!

philnicAnd there's me thinking that glasnost, perestroika, Gorbachev (and, if you want to trace the rise of democracy in the Eastern Bloc back a little further, Lech Walesa) had something to do with it.

Mr. DarkObviously, a lot is involved in a major historical change, but to minimize Reagan, Pope John Paul II, Gorbachev, and Walesa would be revisionist history at best. Someone said history is a string of great biographies and I think there is some truth to that.

dandelionHeard a good one on a political satire show the other day. President Bush is saying how a president should be remembered for things. "Reagan--Morning in America. Roosevelt--Jobs. Nixon--Going to China. Well, I got all three. Every morning in America, jobs are going to China."
