It was a moving and awesome experience today at the Reagan Library. In the FReeper motorhome were BobJ,Dio, Mr. & Mrs. Doughty One, RonC, and Bob. Who did I miss?
I was off the FReeway at about noon and finally mad it into the line at about 1:20. I made it to the rotunda at about 4pm.
The reports on the news are lying. If you are there now, your wait will be a minimum of 5 hours. People just kept coming and coming and coming.
Did anyone watch KTLA tonight? They interviewed me on camera and I gave them some good stuff about the Gipper and his vision that defeated the greatest evil of the 20th Century. Also, I spoke to NBC and Gannett news service.
The outpouring of love for this remarkarkable man made the trip worthwhile. I understand they are extending the hours to 11pm tomorrow night. I spent a great deal of time walking by the line and saying hi to people. I finally left at about 9:30.
Doug McIntyre of KABC stopped by and was looking for me. Unfortunately, I was in line and missed him. He has a great show and had me in studio one night during the Clinton years, coining the term "Clintonologist."
Those who were there, please check in.
Don't you just love it when the leftist RAT b*st*rds must listen to a week of great things about the Gipper?
Doug, did I hear you on Laura Ingraham's program this morning? (How many Doug-from-Uplands are there, after all). You were great!
What station is Ziglar on? He used to be on a station here in Louisville, and I was looking for his website recently, but couldn't find it.
O'Reilly apparently does not appreciate or understand the historical greatness of Reagan.
I stand by no heels - the person I was with stumbled down one of the paths and almost fell to her knees.
Thanks. Yes, that was me.
Zigler is on KFI 640 in L.A. You can listen via the internet --- www.kfi640.com
Like President Reagan did, I love California.
I was there yesterday, we need to get a poster of freerepublic.com to that crowd.
Thank you.
The bastard better stand in line like the rest of the citizens. The line doesn't begin to pay what is due the man being honored.
Thanks.
All that is still here, your fantasies are quite justified. LOL.
My neighbor just built one mean 1931 Model A Ford Coupe. You see the big difference now is most that drive and build these are grown adults with bucks, instead of teenagers and they are driven to places that appreciate them, where entire businesses and restaurants have turned themselves into the 50s and 60s themes with very expensive, old memorabilia. It's really cool.
Instead of calling the cops in days gone by, restaurants and other businesses actually have 50s nights every month and attracted big custom car shows right in their parking lots.
Speaking of hot rods and babes, the nations *largest* classic car show is held right here in Southern California, "Kicks on Route 66". It's actually 4 days long that takes up almost a 45 block area. You have never seen so many muscle and classic cars in your life. I know I haven't, and I was born and raised here through the 50s and 60s. And another difference with todays rods are they are much nicer than they were in the 60s, when they were generally owned by young kids.
Cheers!

Doug, I heard you on Al Rantel's show last night.
I hope I didn't screw up. :) Actually, I was also on his show in the morning, Larry Elder's in the afternoon, and Laura Ingraham's this morning. Surprise, I'm not shy.
