John Dolan hits it out of the park:

"Reagan's Cheshire Snarl"

So true. Reagan's canned smile was the death-mask of this Empire. For
three decades, the white, male members of the American middle-class
compensated for imperial decline with ever more disastrous financial
bubbles and ever more catastrophic colonial wars -- an exponential curve
of self-destruction. And now it's game over, and we Americans have become
the archeologists of our own wreckage.
