I know everyone (even Nick Jonas, y'all!!!) is gung-ho about celebrating Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday lately, but I see no reason to celebrate it. He was not a good president (that's debatable), and his willful ignoring of the AIDS crisis shows he was not a good man. But I was still surprised to read this story from a former neighbor, revealing he was also no friend to the lowly puppy (and wasn't very fond of the poor).

To all the Reagan-slobberers, I can only think: Give it a rest.

Reagan is highly popular in the minds of voters (#2 best prez ever). When it comes to his legacy, it fittingly shows just how poor people's memories can be.

What's even funnier is that Reagan couldn't even get past a Republican primary these days, and yet all these Republicans worship him, but Democrats would re-elect similarly positively remembered Bill Clinton or John F. Kennedy in a heartbeat.
