I *heart* Alex P. Keaton

Was there anything better than his dance to the Stock Market Crash to woo his dance major girlfriend Ellen? True love. Nerdy Republican 80’s style.

“Of all the Basic Applied Economic Principles of Capitalism in the Post-Industrial Era Seminars in the world, you had to walk into mine. “

Elyse Keaton: Alex was offended by our political magazines and ripped them up.
Alex P. Keaton: You have no proof.
Elyse Keaton: Yes we do. We found your rattle on the floor next to the evidence.
Alex P. Keaton: It could have Mallory’s.
Elyse Keaton: It was your Nixon rattle.

And if you think I’m kidding about my undying devotion to Alex P. Keaton I shall remind my readers that my first boyfriend? Might have been a little nerdy Republican who as a Junior beat out a Senior for Student Council President (of course, I was a Senior at the time) and might have charmed me with his George Bush and Richard Nixon *action figures* and this was in the early 90’s when the now hip/ironic political action figures um, didn’t exist. My very first Alex.

Oh yeah, and there was that economist boyfriend of mine from lives in D.C. (but was from Ohio and even went to Alex’s dream school, Princeton.) Who claims to be non-partisan but has far, far, far too many friends who move in conservative circles. I’m two degrees from pretty much everyone in the National Review reading world because of him. My one true Alex.

I couldn’t make it up if I tried…

How on earth did I end up with Mark? The anti-Alex P. Keaton.
