The Gipper

Ronald Reagan died!!!! Of course it might be argued that THE Ronald Reagan died a long time ago and now his body has finally followed. What a president! I can still hear him say: “Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!” Much better than Ich bin ein Berliner, if you ask me. I remember when he was elected back in 1980. I was in first grade and I wanted Jimmy Carter to win. (Hey, I was 6 years old, I didn’t know any better!) I eventually came to like Reagan even though he would annoy me by pre-empting my favorite TV shows every now and then. Funny how it doesn’t seem that long ago. At any rate, RIP Mr. President!

    That’s funny. When I was 6, I mock-voted for Reagan. (I was 6 after all)

    I was dreading this day for awhile. Reagan was easily my favorite president, so I’m quite biased.
