Anyone know the Reagan timeline?
About a year ago I found a timeline of Reagan's presidency on the internet, laid out year by year and even by event. This timeline actually hit the real Reagan, not the ones the Repub media have been selling. You know, stupid quotes, incompetency in dealing with Russia, etc.

Anyone know of what I speak and seek?

2. I had heard of that book before, but you jogged my memory.
I just now made a Google-search, which brought me to Amazon.com (used}. There were several sources listed there, so I ordered a copy that was stated to be in "very good" condition. (less than $10 w/S&H).

4. Ronald Reagan - The Bonzo Years


http://www.quickchange.com/reagan/

For those of us who lived (and paid attention) during the Reagan years, life was interesting. What would that wacky, happy guy say or do next? Would he embarrass the country by falling asleep at an international summit? Would he show us some more pie charts while increasing the national debt? Would he allow junk bond kings to destroy entire communities while downsizing fever ruined countless lives?

All this and more. Every day was a new experience, a new challenge to see just how much the American public would take. Of course, the answer (as provided by his next two successors) is: just about anything. Not to pick on the ol' Gipper, but the clips below are a matter of public record. Take a walk down memory lane and remind yourself of why future historians will look back on the Reagan Error and say: "Where was the rest of him?"

Some people may find the following funny, others may find it painful. As there's quite a bit of stuff here, please feel free to use the following links to jump to the year of your choice. Listed are just a couple of "highlights" from each year.
