BREAKING NEWS: Jelly Belly Co. recalls Reagan's fondness for candy!!!!!
The parade of stupid articles continue. How I'll survive this week is beyond me:

"Jelly Belly will not launch a new flavor in Reagan's honor, Rowland Brasher said; the company doesn't want to profit from the country's loss. But it did issue condolences."

1. I can understand this one.
Reagan DID put Jelly Bellys on the map. That one's not disputable. And I don't consider it political.

4. I think that was supposed to be funny
Well, that's the way I took it.

Also:

"the company doesn't want to profit from the country's loss"

But we will send this press release out to remind people that Ronnie just LOOOOOOOOOOOOVED Jelly Bellies!
