I haven’t posted much this week. Perhaps it’s because I’m not thinking much this week. Here’s a little scrimpet of stuff that has passed by my noggin but is too little to write about – I haven’t given much thoughts to the electrion so far this year; it bores me already. I don’t like any [...]

I think I keep hoping for some unknown conservative candidate to suddenly appear and give me somebody to vote for. Like the ghost of Ronald Reagan, perhaps.

Ronald Reagan’s portrait, created with the jelly beans he loved so much. We know, as he always said, that America’s best days are ahead of us.

USA Today is reporting on the possibility of Ronald Reagan on the $10 bill. I like the idea. Hamilton who? This is not a new idea; The New York Times reported it in February 2001, according to the ReaganLegacy website, and before that in the St. Petersburg Times.
