Well that spiritual guru guy, as well as the guy from sonic youth, were both named after board members. Oh, and a certain type of pig.

nah not really……………isn't freedom of speech wonderful……. :D
Freedom of speech is great. So is the freedom to call your remarks what they were, completely classless.

I think enough has been done to honor Reagan in terms of buildings, schools, etc., and that the dime should remain FDR's. But all the pomp surrounding his funeral is nothing unusual. Every President has had a week of memorials, and some more (FDR comes to mind). Media coverage is greater now, but the memorial schedule is nothing new.

can't remember all the details but the whole ketchup is a veggie incident was according to my brother republican postering over a budget issue or something along those lines. an old boss of my bro agreed to the be the fall guy in order to make a point. of course once the news over ketchup was "ancient" history the fall guy had a better job on the hill.

so the reagan admin never really thought ketchup was a veggie…

Wait until they start talking about replacing Jackson on the $20 bill with Reagan, or putting his face on Mt. Rushmore.
I freaking knew it…

USA Today reported Tuesday that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) plans to sponsor legislation in the Senate to have Reagan's image replace that of Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first treasury secretary, on the $10 bill.

Meanwhile, an effort is underway in the House of Representatives, led by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), to put Reagan's face on the $20.

There's also a new bill on capitol hill to rename our fair national capitol in honor of America's bestest president ever: Reagan, DC.

More renaming bills are in the pipeline…everything from roads to washrooms. Popeye's chicken will henceforth be known as Reagan's Chicken. The species of domestic fowl formerly known as chicken will be called Reagan. In the future it will be a misdemeanor not to use the word "Reagan" at least once in every paragraph….soon to be ammended to once-per-sentence. Then once per word.

That's the ONLY name that I'll use for that airport. Or once in a great while, DCA.

You forgot about the traffic madness that you'll all have to deal with, especially on Friday! You all have my sympathies.

Alzheimer's is definitely a shitty way to go.
The joke about his alzheimer's is that when he got it how could they tell?
A few years ago someone I know died of Alzheimer's. We were told at the time that it cannot be diagnosed for certain until an autopsy (on the brain) is performed. I don't know if that is still true. (sorry to turn all serious).
They have ways such as MRIs, mini mentals and other tests. Besides, once they get into further stages of the disease, it's obvious. I work now with people with Dementia and Alzheimer's who need long term care. Though I have a total blast with these people, it's a slow, deteriorating death.

I'm hoping that his death will funnel a little more money into caring for these people. You know how when a high profile person gets a disease, the world finally cares. :roll: BTW, I don't know about any of the particular charities and their integrity. I'm sure many of them will abuse the situation to rake in the cash but won't put any more than their 2 cents required by law for their brochures into any kind of research or care.

Not me. I hated that fucking elitist bitch! She's even snobbier than he was. They both were from the Marie Antoinette school of etiquette; 'let them eat cake' while she expected their delicacies served on newer fine china paid for by the US tax payer who had no chance in Hell of ever dinning on one piece.

I think the appropriate reverse side would be an engraving of his ass mooning us to remind us all of how we were nickel and dimed to death.
