Ronald Reagan Dies at 93

[El Blanco]

Damn you and your big, fancy book lernin'.

Do you think Nancy will donate his 18 lbs brass balls to the Smithsonian?

Say what you will about his politics, you had to love the guy's drive. When he wanted something, he would move mountains to get it.

And he was a pretty good guy personaly. Consider how his biggest political rival and agitator, Tip O'Neil, was also one of his best friends. Hell, even with all the shit thast happened with the USSR, Gorbachev actually liked him.

And, I am a little young to remember clearly, so maybe I've got the rose tinted glasses here, but I don't remember any of Reagan's political ads being muslinging. He always had this sense of optimism. He always talked about the City on the Hill. He wanted to focus onthe good things in the country rather than hoist the problems on the other side.
