Reagan to get Super Bowl Tribute

[otohara]

Ronald Reagan admirers wanted to go all out to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the former president's birth on Feb. 6 -- a fighter jet flyover, a 21-gun salute and a Beach Boys performance are among the commemorations. But the Great Communicator's centennial birthday conflicts with another great American mega-event: Super Bowl Sunday.

Yet Reaganites, true to the Gipper's attitude, saw an opportunity.

Just before kickoff, a tribute to Reagan will be displayed on the video board at Cowboys Stadium.

And here's another lesser-known fact to some: Interstate 20 through Arlington -- home of the Cowboys -- is also named the Ronald Reagan Memorial Highway. http://superbowlblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/01/ronald-reagan-to-get-super-bow.html:puke:

1. Well . . . n/t

[LynneSin]

2. I have no problem skipping the Super Bowl this year

I find no reason why we should celebrate someone who put our country into great debt.

14. Me either, the pukers and the gipper? thanks, but no thanks...

...

[Raine]

3. Thank Gawd I never watch the super bowl

:puke:

[BrklynLiberal]

4. One more reason not to watch it.

[Fuzz]

5. How often will we have to hear 'Gipper'? I may get ill after 3.

6. NFL is becoming one big RW junkfest.

Bleh... Greedy bastards. Michael Vick is a great symbol for what it has become. All they need now is an NRA half time event.

[Initech]

17. I'm gonna play Bill Maher's rant from last Friday after my party.

[hlthe2b]

19. NFL as socialism.... I note the RW has ignored that one.

[bluestateguy]

7. And I will be quietly watching movies OnDemand

I won't make a big thing about it, but I choose not to participate.

[Johonny]

8. I hope the tribute covers when he signed gun control bills

raise taxes, called for nuclear disarmament, pulled troops out of Beirut... yeah I know this will be the fantasy Reagan that exists only in the minds of freepers.

[cleanhippie]

9. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

:puke:

[lame54]

10. I can't stand the fucking Beach Boys...

and this finally gives me the right to say it out loud

[niyad]

11. yet another reason not to watch that gladiatorial extravaganza

the section of I-25 through this county is also the ronald reagan highway. done without the approval or say-so of the residents.

[rfranklin]

12. Ronnie Reagan Memorial what? I forget...

Where are my index cards?

[Stevenmarc]

13. Why can't we just have a good old fashioned wardrobe malfunction and call it a day

[obxhead]

15. If it's an honest tribute the fighter pilots should get lost on

the way and fly over the wrong city while forgetting what they were intending to do anyway.

[Initech]

16. Get ready for Reagasm 2011... it's only gonna get worse.

[ladjf]

18. The propaganda never stops. It the key part of the perpetrator's

"big heist" plan.
