The only news I heard yesterday was that Smarty Jones didn't win. But on the way home late last night, I saw a flag flying at half mast and figured I'd better turn on the radio.
Frankly, from what I've heard of President Regan's condition, his death was most likely a blessing. I was never a fan but over the years my impression of him has changed some. And I wouldn't wish Alzheimer's on anyone. His last battle was undoubtedly his hardest.
Other than that, I defer to the many astute comments of other bloggers, especially Shai, Meryl and Solomon.
Rest in peace, Mr. President.
