I wonder if 'the bent one' will be cremated to avoid a long line waiting to pi$$ on his grave
I'll bet word of this is causing irritation in some places oh say like the dnc, abccbsnbccnn etc!
More than 54,000 people have visited the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library since it reopened 2 weeks ago.
Millions are so grateful to you and Nancy. You are a shining example to all of us!
Vote the RATS out!

I decided to go visit Washington DC this fall after watching the Reagan funeral. I now have a reason to go to California and will visit the Reagan Library in the not-too-distant future.
From the location of the remnant of the Berlin Wall you can see most of Ventura County. It's a beautiful place to visit.
