On his radio show in the 70's Steve Allen shared a blind item about a wacky couple that came running into a party with a story about seeing a UFO. Apparently, there was no mistake he was talking about the Reagans. Maybe they went aboard? It would explain a lot. As far as Radiohead and Reagan, I think "How to Disappear Completely" sums up how liberals felt in the 80's: <em>"The moment's already passed Yeah it's gone. I'm not here This isn't happening"</em> There were so many UFO stories I had to leave some out!

As far as Radiohead and Reagan, I think “How to Disappear Completely” sums up how liberals felt in the 80’s:

“The moment’s already passed
Yeah it’s gone.
I’m not here
This isn’t happening”

I've entertained the alien invasion fantasy myself. I've usually been drunk, but no less sincere for it. It's the kind of drinker I am. Who knew Reagan and Thom Yorke (see "Subterranean Homesick Alien") had anything in common? But this gives me hope. Perhaps I've always sold myself short and am, in fact, better qualified to lead the free world than I had previously imagined.
