The one truly great President of the past fifty years and one of the Top Five overall. How we miss him!

The ushers brought him tea -- horror of horrors they served it our way with a tea bag in the cup." He said the prince admitted, "I didn't know what to do with it."

Charles -- if the problem of the tea bag is beyond your abilities, perhaps being King isn't the right job for you.

Reagan recalled being shot when he wrote that "suddenly there was a burst of fire from the left."

Still happening today, Mr. President...

And to think that Hill-de-beast thinks she and her feminist hags should occupy the same office, and Bubba lower his pants again in the W.H. for any big-boobed bimbo who happens by, makes my skin crawl. I didn’t think it was possible to sink lower than Jimmah Cah-ta.

NOW let us see the truth - was Reagan dim-witted as a box of rocks as the MEDIA told us all these years? Or was he actually pretty bright and on top of things?

You'd almost think Chucky doesn't get around much. I wonder if he has trouble with chopsticks.

The truth is, the liberal establishment was always tearing into Reagan, trying to bring him down. They never touched him. His greatness was undeniable. If you read the book, “Reagan In His Own Hand”, you’d know the answer.

I’d rank him #3 just behind Washington and Jefferson. Lincoln would rank #4 because he required a civil war to rid the nation of an evil institution. Reagan defeated the evil empire without a war.

I can’t wait to buy that book!

I have Reagan’s autobiography (An American Life) and I’ve read it several times. He mentions writing in his diary in that book and I’ve been wondering if it would ever be made public.

You write:

“I have Reagan’s autobiography (An American Life) and I’ve read it several times. He mentions writing in his diary in that book and I’ve been wondering if it would ever be made public.”

I have compiled a list of books concerning President Reagan. I will update the list prior to this coming June:

I’ll note that I’m leery of the large number of books that have come out about President Reagan in the last 2-3 years. The authors have good-intentions, but the best writing about Reagan are found by reading the words written/spoken by President Reagan himself.

With the absolute nothing the British monarchy does these days, it seems Good Time Charlie is just perfectly suited.
