Shrub's bio in Ronald Reagan Presidential Library

[wtmusic]

Iraq "forced its way" to the top of the nation's agenda? Now c'mon, let's give the neos credit where it's due...

1. I've visited Reagan's library (which isn't at Stanford)

It's a pretty, Spanish/Mexican design, in the mountains around Simi Valley, as I recall.

Historically, it ignores a hell of a lot of his presidency.

2. There's a lot more devoted to his so-called "charisma"

than actually policy issues.

The exhibit on his personal history is interesting.

3. Well, the lack of historical depth went hand-in-hand with RR's personna

But the personal stuff was interesting. I'd actually enjoyed the trip out there, though I didn't think I would.
