The weekend in review

Like I did Memorial Day weekend, I surfed through the slime that is the left wing of the blogosphere to see what they had to say about both the passing of President Reagan and the 60th Anniversary of D-Day.

Unlike the Memorial Day weekend post, I was not able to keep my stomach down this time and go through over 100 leftie sites. The bile was just too pungent.

But here is a pretty comprehensive run down in order of popularity by the number of mentions...

Leftie bloggers believe:
1. Reagan was a failure
2. Reagan was evil
3. Reagan was a dupe
4. Reagan was a puppet.

I would like to point out another common theme I saw. If a site said little to nothing of the above judgements about Reagan, the post consisted of betting that the right wouldn't be so kind when Carter or Clinton died.

Oh yeah, I saw this twice (paraphrasing) "the Cold War was won by JFK when he called Kruschev's bluff in Cuba". Stop laughing now. It'll only hurt later.

As for D-Day, I don't know exactly what they think of it. Of the 45 (+/-) sites I was able to stomach, no one mentioned it.

Now, speaking of Carter, he had a nuclear submarine, the third and final 'Seawolf Class', named after him over the weekend. Actually, on the day that president Reagan passed away.

I found this @ Right Thinking and Lee has a better name for the boat. The USS Malaise

Thank you, Lee.

And I would also like to thank whomever nominated the Memorial Day Weekend in Review post to The Council of Watchers. Now I understand what they mean when they say "it feels great just to be nominated" when I read the post of the other folks on the list.
