Before our current leader, no one inspired more loathing in me than Ronald Reagan. But there seems to be something inhumane about regarding the impending demise of a sad, old man as a cause for something other than mourning. So I pose my loyal readers a question:
How should haters of Reagan-as-Governor and Reagan-as-President mark his passing, when it comes?

I've been through this one before, since Nixon is to Steven as Reagan is to Charlie. You don't have to shed a single tear for the fucker ... it would be inhumane to treat Reagan as anything other than a doddering prick who ruined the lives of many.

I think it's interesting that you have more animus against Nixon, since Reagan was the not-yet-infirm asshole Governor during your formative years.

But I held back, trying to eek out the most positive thing I could, which is to say, "at least his having alzheimers might have kept Bush from banning stem-cell research." You know, Bush thinks he's a God and all, so there's always that.

There was this crazy moment in the afternoon when my roommate and I turned the TV on to figure out what the F was going on with all the helicopter's circling like airborn sharks. The coverage of this "news" went on and on. Here we see the corner of a casket, here we see a mob of loons trying to peek at the corner of a casket, here we see an old woman walking dressed like a flag. Craziest part was noisy helicoptered news footage of a helicopter circling a street corner I could have pointed at from the roof of my bedroom--trees in the way from my window but the noise still coming in. I felt quite interpolated, quite post-modern.
Welcome home.
