We can be thankful for a couple more things from President Reagan: his departure from his body here on earth took Abu Ghraib from its leading spot in the "news". The media can't very well bring it back to the forefront without people seeing exactly what they're attempting to do. Of course, they will try it nevertheless, just as they did with the yellowcake and Bush-National Guard stories.

The other favor that The Gipper did for us was to seriously dampen the hooplah surrounding the publication of the impeached one's book.

Maybe you missed Ted Kennedy and Joe (the chia pet) Biden screaming at Attorney General Ashcroft today. To have Ted Kennedy telling anyone about "abuse" is almost laughable.

Well the prison scandal had been long gone. I think they seriously hurt themselves with that. I do see the hand of the almighty in the timing of this: right on D-Day.

D-day and Ronald Reagan. Can you have two clearer symbols of America;s contribution to the world? Her selflessness?

Sobered the Euros right up (that and no doubt some folder containing xeroxes of Oil for Food scandal information.)

We will see how the media plays this and how the people respond. I keep waiting for the backlash but it has yet to come.
