A nation lost at sea…

I just caught Brooklyn Joe’s pointer to the Reagan Dime Proposal, put forward by Rep. Mark Souder, Indiana.

Triggering the dispute is a TV movie that depicts a doddering Reagan dominated by his wife, Nancy. The movie is being aired by Showtime after CBS canceled its plans to show it last month in response to pressure by Reagan supporters.

“It’s what precipitated me introducing the bill at that time and why it was a lot easier to get a lot of support,” said Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind.

I seem to remember something about a record US deficit and a Vietnam-esque “police action” in Iraq (a sovereign nation we invaded without provocation), while US representatives are bitching at each-other over dimes, because of a television show that paints Reagan in an unflattering light?

Please. Someone. Take. The. Rudder.
