Our media better make a big stink about it like they've done with Reagan.

I wonder if they will?

1. First thing this morning, I pulled up my local paper website like I do every morning
And there's a big picture of St Ronnie on the front page.

I wanted to gag.

2. No. They are still waiting for Ronnie to emerge from the crypt.
Got news for them, the asshole has been dead for over three days now.

6. BTW
I haven't heard anything about Raygun birthday besides here and The Colbert Report. PBS has been 95% of the Egypt revolution. I don't pay attention to Faux, MSNBC, and FNN(Facebook News Network).

8. Pretty scary that...
Edited on Sat Feb-05-11 02:06 PM by Vicar In A Tutu
...a President can err..."take charge" 20 years later yet be that much older. I think there should be a cut off point for such a high-stakes, high pressure job. That's not ageism, merely common sense, because we know what sort of ailments you're far more likely to fall to as you age. If you take the job at, say, 60 and hold on for eight years, that's more than old enough. There's a minimum age, so a maximum is a no-brainer.
