An auction house claims to be auctioning off a vial of Ronald Reagan’s blood.
Is it a vegetable?
I don’t understand why people are mad. Except I sure wouldn’t pay thousands of dollars for old ice.
Having a bad day? At least Reagan is still dead—so we’ve got that working for us.

I guess they’re afraid he’ll be cloned.
Isn’t that what they want anyway??
Reagan’s eternally turning a nice, crispy brown.
I just do not understand the adoration of Ronald Reagan. He was terrible to blacks; he ramped up the Drug War, which was the beginning of the modern police-state in this country; he was fundamentally ignorant of science; he disliked unions but was head of the Screen Actors’ Guild; he said he’d cut taxes and then raised them, what, 14 times?
It’s a lot like the Obamadoration. No matter what parts of the Constitution the college law professor ignores or runs roughshod over, he’s considered a liberal hero. More people deported in his first three years than Bush managed in eight, and he’s a champion of the people. Unemployment is still through the roof (despite the clever “generally agreed upon accounting principles”), no one on Wall Street’s been prosecuted, JPMorgan just pissed through 3 billion dollars, and I keep getting told over and over that this all part of some clever plan for the second term.
Here’s an idea, all future presidents: Run for only one term, and go in like you’re actually in charge. If you do it right, your VP can take the wheel and do even more in the next four years.
@alex-
I have no clue where the left gets the idea that Obama is ‘adored’, or considered a ‘liberal hero”. Most people I talk to have the same opinion that I do- he’s doing the best (or close to) that can be done considering the circumstances(circumstances you fail to take into account, btw, which leads you to direct your anger at the wrong target), which makes him barely adequate. Its just that the alternatives are too horrific to contemplate.
