Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Thermonuclear Fire

This popped into my inbox this afternoon (clickety-click).

I've become addicted to the National Security Archive's FOIA pages and this one - freshly declassified only a few hours ago - is a doozy.

Hoorah for overkill! A whole bundle of H-bombs and up to 180 atomic bombs on one city alone. You gotta read it; it's funnier than Doctor Strangelove, especially when you think of a Palin or a Trump with their sweaty fingers poised over the insanity button.

And this was back in 1959; before things got REALLY crazy.

Yup; I still miss the ol' Cold War.

Waaaah! It's not funny! People are nuts. We could end up with a freaking nutcase for President. I miss George W. Bush.

Now there's a phrase I never thought I'd hear.

Believe me, I never thought I'd say it. Folks are missing Ronald Reagan these days, too. Compared to the current crop, he was a freakin' liberal.

And far better hair than Trump. What the hell IS that on his head?
