Different Kind of Theme Park

October 25, 2006

Las Vegas is a fun town. I visited there many times when I lived in California for a short period of time. When in Vegas, I usually turned to the blackjack tables for entertainment.

Judging by the photos below, the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas might be a different kind of place to go. This is like no other amusement park that I have seen.

Ronald Reaganisms

October 24, 2006

Lots of work getting these sites moved. So far, only Mr Papa’s World is up. Waiting for the DNS to change on the others then make sure they work.

So, only a quick post, but being a fan of Ronald Reagan, I found these sayings attributed to him to be quite nice. Actually, havent researched if they were really his, but I still liked them.

  • “Here’s my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant: It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “Of the four wars in my lifetime none came about because the U.S. was too strong.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandment’s would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “The taxpayer: That’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “I’ve laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it’s in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.” – Ronald Reagan
  • “No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.” – Ronald Reagan
