28. Nope.. yet it's all over the AM radio this afternoon..
.. one guy said that Reagan singlehandedly won the Cold War, and saved all our lives. I guess stuff like that always happens when a pubic figure dies.. or anyone, I guess. We remember them much more fondly than what was reality. I also think it serves a political purpose to confer sainthood on him.. when in fact, he was at the helm of one of the biggest criminal scandals of all time in our government... The Iran/Contra affair should have earned him an impeachment... but we saved that for the blowjob.

I'm sorry that the man is dead. It's always hard for families and friends to lose a loved one. He was a president, and even though he broke the law, lied, and dessimated important social programs and hurt people doing it, I still think his death should be treated with some dignity.
