I know I usually only post once a day,but please indulge me.Amid all the hoopla of the recall Tuesday,Nancy Reagan laid a bouquet of white roses at the grave of her beloved Ronnie.
How I long for the days when we could point with pride to the People’s House and say: OUR president lives there.Reagan came from a time when you could look a man in the eye and get the measure of him.His word was his bond.That’s the way he grew up in Dixon,Ill.Always cheerful,exhorting everyone to appreciate how great this wonderful country was and encouraged us to be the best we could be.You felt there was nothing you couldn’t do if you put your mind to it.Nations who would do us harm never mistook his positive attitude for weakness.He would only be pushed as far as the wind at his back and would readily call down the thunder to those who would harm the American people who he viewed as friends and neighbors.
His devoted Nancy,always beautiful and the epitome of grace, was content to stand in the shadows and let her beloved Ronnie have the spotlight.When he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s,he quietly accepted his fate and was content to live out the time he had left on his ranch with his horses and the woman who never left his side.His passing left a void that may never be filled because they don’t make them like him anymore.
Nancy Reagan placed a bouquet of white roses on the gravesite of her late husband Ronald Reagan Tuesday to mark the eighth anniversary of the passing of one of America’s most beloved presidents.
Appearing frail in a red coat, the former first lady then sat by the 40th president’s gravesite at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif.
Now 90, Nancy Reagan recently suffered broken ribs in a fall, and was reported to be recovering slowly.
The widow of President Reagan also made news recently by announcing her endorsement of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Having served lemonade and cookies to Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, at her Los Angeles home, she said that she is firmly behind the former Massachusetts governor.
She said that Romney has the experience and leadership skills that, in her words, “our country so desperately needs.”
Reagan added that her “Ronnie” would have liked Romney’s business background and what she calls his “strong principles.”
Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama each entered the White House during a bad economy. Obama often says he inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression. This is wrong. The economy Reagan inherited from Jimmy Carter was worse.
As Chrissy told you,I’m having problems with my new computer.The old one died Saturday.It went quietly,in its sleep.Just like my granddad.Not screaming and pounding on the windows of the car he was driving at the time.
VIDEO: Rudy Giuliani’s 2007 South Carolina statement to Ron Paul was likened to Ronald Reagan’s “I am paying for this microphone” statement in Nashua in 1980.
I never listened to Ron Paul before the recent SC debate. His statement here, the one that set Giuliani off, just confirmed for me what I thought after the SC debate. I.e., Ron Paul may be smart about finance and obstetrics, but he is a flaming moron about foreign policy.
Besides trying to inform,entertain and maybe make you laugh,one of the things I enjoy about posting here is reading about what you think.I’m assuming there are few if any other men on this board and I was surprised at the reaction you had to Marianne Gingrich grousing about the woman who stole the man she stole from his first wife.
I married my first wife when I was 24 and she was pregnant.That’s how it was done back then.I thought I could get along with anyone,but she was as immature as I was.
It was about five years after my divorce that I met my second wife who was 10 years my junior with a three year old boy.She worked two days a week as a nurse and I worked a full time job and delivered pizzas on weekends to give her whatever she wanted.She convinced me to legally adopt her son after about 7 years of marriage because her ex was a deadbeat dad.
Unbeknownst to me she hooked up with a guy from our church who was even lazier and more worthless than she was.She convinced a judge her son was afraid of me,although I never went anywhere without him.I paid 25% of my income for 6 years,and haven’t seen him since 1992.He’ll be 31 on March 5.
My fishing partner’s wife had a best friend they introduced me to 18 years ago and we’ve been together since.We were in our 40’s and had no illusions about how hard a relationship could be.We’ve had disagreements,to be sure,but to my knowledge we’ve never had a serious fight.She claims one of the reasons she married me was because I made her laugh.It must be true because after 18 years she doesn’t laugh when I take my clothes off anymore.
She has a son and a daughter she raised for many years after her ex walked out on them.Her daughter tries to keep in touch for holidays and birthdays,but my stepson will have nothing to do with him for any reason.I’m the only grandpa their kids know.
My stepson has a daughter,16 and a son,14 and you already know about Miss Isabel and Miss Olivia,who are my stepdaughter’s little gifts from God.
In Romans Jesus said ‘all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.’ None of us are perfect and sometimes you have to try more than once to get it right.That’s why I can’t be too judgemental of Newt.Christians aren’t perfect,but we are forgiven.

AFTER RAISING INCOME TAXES BY 67% ILLINOIS STILL $8.5 B IN DEBT
There was an article a couple weeks ago about thousands of people who won money in the Illinois lottery getting their checks–which promptly bounced.The comptroller called it a ‘bookkeeping error’ and said the state would make good.However the bank fees for checks people had written after they deposited the state checks were the peoples’ problem.
