History, culture, Ronald Reagan and stuff. Monday, November 3, 2008. Dixon, Illinois: Reagan's Small Town. Last week, I wrote a piece for the New Statesman's election blog.

Amiable Dunce: October 2008

http://duncery.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

History, culture, Ronald Reagan and stuff. Monday, October 20, 2008. Would President Reagan Have Knelt Before Zod? Following a several month long hiatus, I have decided to resurrect this blog for three reasons. 1) It is a useful means of procrastination. 2) To plug the possibly short-lived Three Weeks in America. The musings of my sister as she ambles round the States. 3) Because the presidency looks like it will be getting some attention in the near future, and I may as well Be Part of History as well.

Amiable Dunce: October 2007

http://duncery.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

History, culture, Ronald Reagan and stuff. Monday, October 29, 2007. George Wallace running for president in '68, Paul Robeson belting out 'Old Man River'. More music suggested itself - Earl Scruggs, Satchmo, Leadbelly - but I could not choose. I even considered a bit of Klan action from Birth of a Nation. But that's a bit wrong, and not nearly as exciting as it was in 1915. Anyway, while looking for the full scene of Pickett's Charge in Gettysburg. Saturday, October 27, 2007. A Madman With a Razor.
