News reports are that former President Reagan has died... I'd say "good riddance" except that this will undoubtedly only accelerate the efforts on the far right to canonize him. He was a lousy president IMO, only recently exceeded by the current occupant and ranking with the likes of Warren G. Harding and Ulysses Grant... and I was stupid to actually vote for him in 1980.

I didn't care for Reagan, but I wouldn't wish Alzheimer's on anyone at all.

Hm. Good point. Alzheimer's falls into the "wouldn't wish on worst enemies" category...

I didn't like him as president either but I agree on the alzheimer's comment...I wouldn't wish that on anyone either. I am now dealing with a second grandparent thats come down with it and it sucks! Makes me wonder if that illness looms in my future.
