blogging about Reagan

[Eric J in MN]

I didn't want to say much about Reagan right after he died, but I'm planning to post an article on Reagan to my blog on Monday night.

I encourage other bloggers who were similarly reluctant to criticize him much shortly after he died to also speak out.

2. I posted my bit on Reagan today

But I just quoted that poem / song "B-Movie" by Gil Scott-Heron (whose most famous work is "The Revolution Will Not be Televised"). Kind of a tonic for all the Conservative articles I've been reading (Reagan would have loved Bush 43, Reagan would have hated Kerry, Reagan opposed stem cells).

If you haven't read that poem, its quite good. It's early in the term, so doesn't reflect Iran Contra or the AIDS situation or any of that stuff. Still it's pretty biting. Posted here --> http://politicalcomment.blogspot.com/archives/2004_06_13_politicalcomment_archive.html#108747890313639720

Favorite line --> "All of a sudden, the man who called for a blood bath on our college campuses is supposed to be Dudley “God-damn” Do-Right?"
