Hollywood sources tell LA Weekly columnist Nikki Finke that former President Ronald Reagan's medical condition has suddenly worsened. "He really took a downslide today," the insider told Finke Friday evening. "Doctors are at the house. Things aren't good." At the start of the day, several news organizations chased down a rumor that the ex-president had died, but it wasn't true... Family members gathered at the Reagan's Bel Air home late Friday... Developing...
I liked the Pointe du Hoc speech better.
Did not pass the physical due to eyesight problems, but eventually managed to get past that, though was never able to go overseas, which was his dream, because of the eyesight issue. Was assigned stateside in SF. Then a movie about the Air Force was being planned, so to work that in, he was transferred to the AAF from the Cavalry.
Captain Reagan's AAF overcoat.
I don't know, I love it too.
This explains why President was uncharacteristically late for his meeting with the Pope. That's probably when they received word.
I'm really sorry to hear about that! She and RR were quite the team, weren't they?
May it ever be thus.
Are you saying you don't like John Kerry?
I went slumming over there, and could not believe some of the posts. One of them said "ding dong the witch is dead", another said President bush will delay the announcement of his death so his photo-op D-Day bs will not be upstaged. Folks these are the constituents of JK, the ones he calls his base, enough said?"
Ron Reagan Jr. should peruse the sight, it might jolt him into some kind of reality.
That's a wonderful letter you wrote, just wonderful.
I wish him a gentle passing and comfort for his family.
To which I will add a prayer that Our Lord give him a twenty-one gun salute as he approaches His Throne.
Ronald Reagan was the man that this nation needed to right itself and bring it back together. We should all thank the Lord in heaven for sharing the bright light, that Ronald Reagan has been, with us.
Yes, I did not connect that. It makes sense.
"civilization itself depended on the quiet yet determined unity of the english-speaking peoples."
As true with Bush/Blair/Howard as ever. Our values and goals are largely the same.
I was getting some laundry out of the way and came back to the computer ... I just clicked over to this page and quickly click-scrolled down to a section where I could not see to whom it was addressed, nor who had written it.
Within two sentences, I recognized your writing. I thought to myself, has to be her. Scroll down a little more and, yes.
Wonderful and analytical, as always.<P.Thank you.
Reagan was the first person I ever voted for. I turned 18 in 1984, he was at the top of the ticket, and alas, the first person I voted for. My daughter's middle name is Reagan. Tho my brother one upped me, and gave his daughter the first name of Reagan. (both spelled that way too.)
I'm sure we'll also hear about Reagan's dysfunctional kids, Patti and Ron, and all of the asinine things they've said over the years (including Ron's recent criticisms of W).
I say, bring it on. The vitriol can only hurt the libs, just like Wellstone's death rally did. Reagan will kick the media's ass again, just like always...
