Yeah, I hit the abuse button too, but would not give that cretin the dignity of a reply to him/her.

coffee of course. :) At work watching the procession with the tears streaming down. Especially watching the crowds lining the overpasses and the flags on the fire truck ladders and cranes made me bawl yet again. How loved this President is.

I think that if you're going to post "May you rot in hell someday," you should leave the post so that the rest of us know what happened.

I think that if he'going to write "May you rot in Hell someday," he ought to get more specific. Something like:

"May you rot in Hell at God's earliest opportunity" or such.

How old are your kids?

I would take mine ages 8 and 11 if this was anywhere close.

They have both been on freeps and my 8 year old cried when she realized Bush was coming to town and we could not go because we could not get close enough and I was afraid of the protesters.

Any Reagan "weakness" is a Bill Clinton wet dream.

I heard that story also. What made it particularly poignant was that they said that when the President opened his eyes for the last time, they were clear, not clouded. (which was one of the hardest things for Nancy toward the end.) And Michael said, How wonderful that the last thing he saw here, was your wonderful smile, Mom, right before he got to see the face of God.

***I took some comfort in knowing that my dear mother will finally get to meet the President she loved so well.***

And my grandmother and uncle are meeting him! How cool!

Ah yes, January 20, 2001. My son-in-law was stationed at the Pentagon then, and they went to the Inauguration. It poured rain, they were freezing cold, but they had the best time of their lives.

We will be celebrating again in January 2005!

It's unnerving wondering if Buchanan is about to break off into Jooo-hating talk.

I don't believe Nancy had children before she married RWR, but he had two children with Jane Wyman. Maureen was their natural daughter and they adopted Michael. Patti and Ronald Prescott Reagan (he's not a junior) were Nancy and RWR's natural children.
