Reagan Etc

I'm watching the Reagan joint on American Experience, and I just watched about him getting shot (aka the day of Jeff Lamp and Lee Raker's last game for UVa.) It got me thinking about that old fear everyone had re: every president since Lincoln elected in a year that ended with 0 died in office. Until Reagan, and now Bush looks like he's gonna make it through. Made me think of something I posted a few months ago:

Another way my generation sucks is our lack of quality assassinations. Look at the generations before us - you had the Golden Era of Assassinations, the 1960s, that had it all: JFK, MLK, and, just to show how badass they were, another Kennedy with RFK. Maybe you have to be monogram-ly friendly to be considered an assassination candidate? Then they got Sadat, they at least tried to get Reagan and they rotated on a weekly basis who got to try to pop Ford. Fucking hell. AND, just to show nobody was safe they blew five holes in the world's biggest rock star who was of all things a peace-loving hippy. Who the fuck do we have on our resume? A coupla rappers plugging each other? That's it? Come the fuck on. Do we HAVE to be such a bunch of fucking pussies?
