Joan Quigley, Astrologer to a First Lady, Is Dead at 87 - NYTimes.com Skeptic » Insight » Woo in the White House by Donald Prothero In her 1990 book What does Joan Say?, she claimed From the New York Times, From Donald Prothero,

Anyone here care to refute this claim by Governor Reagan on the Holocaust? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIqRnLQ2GCY

It seems the cult of Reagan is trying to get his bust carved into Mt Rushmore again. They say this should happen because "Reagan was the most successful president of the 20th century" based upon whatever made up metric the Reagan Legacy Project uses. I say if they carve Reagan into it they...

I guess the presidency of Ronald Reagan was important to the world then many Americans realize. http://pobeptsworld.wordpress.com/2011/06/30/hungary-honors-president-ronald-reagan-unveiling-statue-in-budapest/

Embarrassed Republicans Admit They've Been Thinking Of Eisenhower Whole Time They've Been Praising Reagan I just can't stop laughing. Brilliant.

I have seen a few of the Reagan retrospectives commemorating the 100th anniversary of his birth. I think history will remember him well, much better than many of his contemporaries treated him. There's much that could be discussed about the man and his times, but I just wanted to bring up...

Ron Reagan claims that his father had alzheimers while in office: http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2011/01/14/reagan-son-claims-dad-had-alzheimers-as-president "It was announced in 1994. While it prompted some to suggest they knew Reagan had the disease as president, his...

This was in one of our local papers today: http://www.irontontribune.com/news/2009/nov/27/want-hear-truth-about-debt-and-taxes/ There are a lot of issues addressed in that one column...probably too many to even mean the point he's making is legitimate to begin with...but the discussion that...

I've got a case of cognitive dissonance. Maybe you can help me out here. Was Ronald Reagan a good president? Depends on your socio-economic status (SES) and political ideology, I guess. :Dancing_cool: He was an extremely skilled speaker and diplomat. He helped bring a peaceful end to a...

I've begun to read some of the available info on the original October Surprise during the fall of 1980. It's been alledged that Regan's people and the CIA orchestrated a deal to sell arms to Iran if they waited to release the hostages until after the election. I tried a search and didn't come...

Here's a stroll down memory lane for some of us: GOVERNOR REAGAN: It might be well if you ask yourself are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than...

There goes Johnny again... http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/15/mccain-agrees-with-bushs-remarks/ Where's Joe Lieberman when you need him? It seems that McCain's Reagan worship is obscuring his memory of the Iran Contra scandal.

New article up today: Did Sylvia Browne Once Save Ronald Reagan's Life? We examine Browne's claims that a 'vision of violence' helped her to save Reagan from bodily harm, if not death, in 1981.

Ladies and Gentlemen: On the left corner: Mr. Killtown On the right side: JREF Enjoy!

The two appear to be pretty equivalent to me. What is happening now in terms of America being stuck in the Iraq quagmire is exactly where Reagan would have ended up if he was president now. And if Dubya was President instead back then, they would be name Airports and other objects of civil...

According to the Mike McMannus editorial in this Sundays paper, they should be. He is a conservative editorialist. In the same editorial section, the question of the week, to us readers, asks us what we think of the Pope's accomplishments. My 71 year old next door neighbor and I then discussed...

http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/11/14/1100384424161.html?from=storylhs The "Reagan Doctrine" has left the world with a dangerous legacy. The idea that Reagan's use of overwhelming military power by the US was responsible for the demise of the USSR, (it was in fact the superior economic...

But haven't we heard otherwise? Yes, of course we have: But I read it in the New York Times! MattJ

I just finished watching the completion of the Reagan ceremonies. The National Cathedral... Reverend what's his name opening the ceremonies in Cali... The Military Band playing a religious song... The Bagpipe player doing Amazing Grace... The Reagan Pastor finalizing the moment with a prayer...

Bill O'Reilly's "Talking Points" from last night was a tongue-lashing of non-attendees to Reagan's funeral. It was the typical, unremarkable nonsense, but this personal bit struck me as odd... I am curious to know just how he went about investigating whether or not someone had a valid excuse to...

Gorby had the lead role, not Gipper Ronnie was just there to mop up the leftovers after Gorby did the job.

How many people will be freshly reminded of Reagan, and think of Bush as wanting, by comparison? Sure, the politics are similar, which is the basis of comparison, but in the minds of many who loved Reagan, will Bush not measure up? I genuinely ask, because I had no love for Reagan, and hence...

- This morning, while browsing the political cartoons (http://www.politicalcartoons.com), I noticed more than a few cartoons featuring Reagan pointing towards a wall Bush had built around stem cell research, and saying "Mister Bush, tear down this wall" and so on. And apparently, there are more...

Ultimately...

Much will be made of just how good a president Ronald Reagan was over the next few weeks, but I thought it made sense to discuss the one thing that he will (correctly) be remembered for: bringing an end to Communism in Eastern Europe. It should be noted that from Eisenhower's time on up...

Well he might as well have, with his silly stem cell ban. Nancy Regan herself came out promoting the benefist of stem cell research when it comes to alzhiemers. But jesus freak Bush decided that its more important to haggle over unused embryo parts then to try and cure horrible disease.

I just heard on the news that Ronald Reagan just died. While he hasn't been really alive mentally for some years, this is really too bad. Now I will have to listen to endless streams of testemonials about what a great president he was. While I don't wish death on anyone, I will not praise...

I think that Dubya was just unlucky compared to Reagan. If Reagan had been president now, he would have screwed up just as badly. A hypothetical, I know. But I can't help feeling that Dubya is trying to be what Reagan was, stupid but active.

Remember Ronald Reagan's supposed gay-bashing as portrayed in the CBS movie? The "live in sin, die in sin" line that even Chris Matthews mocked and said Hollywood was lying? Well, look at this real quote from Ronald Reagan:

From a taped conversation between President Richard Nixon and H.R. Haldeman in 1972... Source Nixon calling someone else strange, for starters, is funny stuff.
