Just this to say, Reagan died. Hardly an unexpected event; there was some "chatter" about it before it was announced the other night. So blogtopia might have gotten word before Big Media was either ready to announce it or even had it.

What can be said about a guy who ruined an economy, shredded the constitution, and was objectively the father of the Christo-Fascist and the "Starve-it" wings of his party simultaneously? His Cowboy persona was the lead-in to Junior's Macho Trip, and he was the least knowledgeable president about the government in a Republic until Turkee showed up. A man who embodied a Greed is Good ethos, and tried to make Ketchup a vegetable to save money, while trying to build a 600-ship Navy. (We always wondered where we would get the sailors for that).

It's ironic that his widow is now fighting with the same Christo-Fascists that she and Hubby empowered to have Stem-Cell research used to help with Alzheimers research. I guess you get what you pay (and play) for. Millions for faith-based outreach. Not a penny for scientific-medical outreach for improving the human(ist) condition...a position a guy like Ronnie could have gotten behind; especially if it meant votes.

Update: Alice Marshall at GOTV has a good Reagan piece. Check it out.
