1. I'm saying that this is typical media |

revisionist history and in a few months we'll be more worried about JLo's marriage and the baseball playoffs and Scott Peterson's trial and whoknowswhatelse. Reagan=Ratings
Patti Davis (Took her mom's maiden name...) actually looks pretty good - better than when she was psychiatric a few years ago adn appeared on Larry King with her now-deceased 'sister' Maureen.
What a fambly!

2. My son's old enough to know |

what revisionist history is. Reagan started us on the road we are on now. I told him that I understand why they're making such a big deal, it's been a long time since a republican president has been popular even after his term in office. They need to brag about the only one they've got. Lord knows the current one ain't nothin' to brag about!

5. I don't have to really |

We hardly have the television on and when we do it's to see something we want to. Seriously, think about it. If you are seeing excessive Reagan coverage it's because your television is on just bleating at you by default, not because you put it on a given channel with a purpose.
Television is a drug. Kick the habit.
