I'm still figuring out what to say about Reagan, and I don't seem to have much coherence yet. So for now I will just say that he seemed like a warm and personable fellow, and it is impossible to imagine the eighties without him. Also, "Amazing Grace" makes me sniffly just hearing it, because it is such a beautiful song (and partly because I've heard a bit about the story behind it), not to mention if anything poignant has provoked its performance.

oh and: W, we knew President Reagan (or felt we did, such was his personality), and you, sir, are no President Reagan, however much you and your campaign staff may wish otherwise.
