I didn't realize you weren't conversing with me, but addressing readers.

Don't forget actor from 1930's ->, two time ScreenActorsGuild President, two term CA governor, and US President, Ronald Reagan. Celebrity turned politician.

CA is a unique state.

Edit: SPIN has been public since the 1990's

Younger readers may choose to search the term "spin doctors"

ETA: Pat Paulsen. Can't say I didn't consider voting for him some dismal elections! https://www.theattic.space/home-page-blogs/2020/2/1/pat-paulsen-for-president

Imagine that - old folks had both a sense of humor and insight. Satire, back then? Whhhhaaaaatttt?

(Paulsen died in 2004, and Gary Hart was exposed as a philanderer - "big stick")

OMG - HOW could I forget Ray-Gun. Thanks for reminding me. NOT /s

I did see Ray Gun speak once. It was actually around the time of his saying that, "Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do." The idea that this know-nothing buffoon was president was surreal.

But then we had Forrest Dump.

And now men can be women, or rather Better Than Women, just by saying they are. The world just becomes more and more absurd...
