Ronald Reagan in Your Palm — God Help Us All

ronald-reagan

Hooray! Moral (and if you’re an air traffic controller, probably literal) bankruptcy is now only a click away. That’s right, the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that Hollywood’s prince of darkness Ronald Reagan now has his own iPhone app.

The Ronald Reagan iPhone app, introduced this week, promises to “deliver Ronald Reagan right to your fingertips,” offering the speeches, sayings and photos of the “Great Communicator” to a potentially wider and younger audience, thanks to the popular mobile technology.

Hooray again! Can’t wait for the youth to learn about the joys of union busting, shipping jobs overseas, ignoring public health disasters, propping up apartheid and running up trillion dollar deficits on failed military projects.

Perfect time to roll out a Reagan propaganda campaign, now that our Reaganomics/Milton Friedman ruled country has hit rock bottom. Wouldn’t want to let folks get the idea the Gipper might have had something to do with that.

    Way to take an article about an iPhone application and make it biased…

    Hahaha, I’m sure you wouldn’t take any chance you can get no matter how ridiculous it is(an iphone app) to attack Ronald Reagan because that would just be an idiotic waste of time.

    About Me

    'Nobody walks in Los Angeles' you may have heard or read or said to yourself absentmindedly. This is entirely untrue. Plenty of crackheads walk in Los Angeles. Any number of schizophrenics too. And so do I. I'm a journalist who came up through the alternative weekly world, first as a staff writer with the LA Weekly and then as a senior editor of the LA City Beat. I currently write for the Los Angeles Times Magazine among other publications. When I'm not writing I wander, usually by foot.
