I calls 'em like I see 'em

On a related note:
Ya know - I wanna feel bad for Reagan. And honestly, his family went through hell dealing with his Alzheimer's. I DO feel bad for THEM (although feeling any sympathy at all for Nancy is a tough pill to swallow). I also feel relieved for them. It's a burden no one should ever have to bear. A nightmare that we all fear.

But for some reason [cough] I don't feel bad HIM. Not a whit. Back in the day when the man had both oars in the water, his complete disregard for the AIDS epidemic, as well as his cold war fear mongering, El Salvador and Nicaragua, and flushing the economy down his "trickle down" toilet, and oh yeah, granting the Bush family their wet dream is enough to make me hope that he's feeling pretty warm right about now. And unfortunately, now we must all endure the endless retrospectives (that sound you just heard was the sound of my eyeballs clinking back in my head). I'd rather not relive it thankyewverymuch.

If this makes me an evil person - so be it. I'll have to live with that I guess. Sorry Gipper.

p.s. I wonder who the next two will be...

I couldnt agree with you more. This country is STILL feeling the effects of "Reaganomics." It could just be me, but I swear Tom Brokaw had a sarastic smirk on his face during the expected tribute on the news.

Oh, I was going to take the test you mentioned, but the advertisements for Ann Coulter's books to the left of the screen made me a little sick. Had to log off. Ick.

The whole arms for hostages, Iran Contra thing was bad enough. But the economic BS has come back to haunt us.

He was a great symbol, but that's about it.

I do totally respect him for his relationship with his wife. That's something we should all strive for. They adored each other.

Am I the only one who notice that he died on the same day that the CDC announced (in 1981) that five gay men in California had a stange new pneumonia? Some people say that god has no sense of humor. I disagree.
