Heard last night from Drudge that he took a turn for the worst.

Well, at least now CNN can use that graphic they made in 2001 (albiet with some slight modification):

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Rest in Peace, old man. Hopefully in the afterlife you'll be reunited with your memories.

Is it wrong that I giggled at this


He will be missed indeed, time to dig through my old movie collection and watch all his classics.

What did he die of?

Three billiseconds after I hit post, the ABC news ticker said pneumonia.

I feel bad for the Reagans, looking at the newsfeed of their home and seeing hordes of reporters swarming around their perimeter.

RIP, Mr. Reagan.

Farewell, and good night, good sir.

A big part of growing up in the '80s was having Reagan as President.

I'm glad he finally died..

That was no way to live. Better to pass away quietly than live in the shadow of your former life.. with few.. if any, moments of lucid awareness.

Death was for the best, definitely. Having had Alzheimer's for so long, death is a godsend more than anything else. He deserved better than that, if not simply for serving as president, but for what he did after leaving the position.

*sighs* Godspeed your journey, Mr. President. /salute

And of all the weekends as this. I was listening to his speeches from the 40th anniversary of D-Day just this past weekend. This weekend marks 60 years since D-day.

His speech after the Challenger exploded also had me in tears. He had great speech writers and wasn't afraid to change his own speeches when his writers tried to tone things down.

He was a man of the people. We'll miss you Ron...

It was either going to be something like the pneumonia that got him, or it was going to be the alzheimers finally eating out the necessary areas of his mind. Nancy said last month that Reagan had "gone someplace (Nancy) can't reach him". So it was just a matter of time.

Even with the scandal over the Iran-Contra deal towards the end of his administration (man...I was like ten or eleven then), he was a cool guy. Always kinda reminded me of one of those cool old grandfathers.

And, as much as I like Dubbya, Reagan was the last really cool Republican. Even G.H. Bush wasn't as impressive.
