Revised for 2014:

But then again, I like ANYTHING that imagines turning one of "st. ronnie's" "blessed" quotes inside out, backwards, and upside down on its ass. ANYTHING that perverts and be-fouls the accursed reagan messaging that's poisoned the American mindset for the past 30-some-odd years is a good thing.
