I had this quote in my .signature some time ago:

[Ronald Reagan's] presidency always reminded me of a remark made by a woman to Heywood Broun following Secretariat's victory in the Triple Crown.  After the trauma of Vietnam and Watergate, she said, Secretariat had "restored her faith in humanity."  I like to think Reagan was the Secretariat of the eighties.
        — G. B. Trudeau

Sadly, not only are people like that woman still around, they've gotten much, much worse.  I really hope this is the last i'll ever hear or read about that goddamn horse.
