Okay, look: It's sad when anybody dies. And Alzheimer's disease is a terrible, terrible way to go. It's a tragedy for his loved ones. But let's not forget: His administration trained the Taliban, sold chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein, illegally sold arms to the terrorist state of Iran, and fought democracy all over Central America. A lot of those chickens that have come to roost today were hatched on Reagan's farm.

So I'm sad for his family and those who knew him well--I have been for some time. But suffering doesn't make you a saint. Count me out of the love fest.

I thought Nixon died, too.

But yeah, I've always been confused by the hero-worship of Reagan.
