OT - Today in Railroad History: 1198 - President Reagan signs in

"1198 - President Reagan signs into law legislation authorizing transfer of the Alaska Railroad to the State of Alaska. "

This must have been after fighting with Robin Hood but before signing the Magna Carta? I knew the guy was old but… :lol:

The values of conservatism are truly timeless…

Mikie, lay off the politics, eh?

Funny Ronnie Raygun quotes “I hope you’re all Republicans.” -speaking to surgeons as he entered the operating room following a 1981 assassination attempt “Honey, I forgot to duck.” -to his wife, Nancy, after surviving the assassination attempt “I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency – even if I’m in a Cabinet meeting.” “Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.” “There is absolutely no circumstance whatever under which I would accept that spot. Even if they tied and gagged me, I would find a way to signal by wiggling my ears.” --on possibly being offered the vice presidency in 1968 “I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” -during a 1984 presidential debate with Walter Mondale “I’m afraid I can’t use a mule. I have several hundred up on Capitol Hill.” -refusing a gift of a mule

STOP!

HEY… how’d you get my picture???

Right when he was elected, WGN started showing lots of Ronald Reagan movies. I thought that kindof rude and said so. Dad replied, “It’s just poor taste. Whether he’s president or not.”

That clip is priceless!
