We Come to Bury Not to Praise

So yeah, I was the last person on Earth to know that Reagan died (it was a very distracting week), but in the process of catching up here are a few links I found compelling.

• A Tribute
• So, one down, one to go by Charlie Stross, on growing up under the threat of annihilation.
• Great Communicator, My Ass by Geov Parrish
• Some people have suggested putting Reagan on a bill, or a coin but why stop there? I like Quinn’s suggestion for the Ronald Reagan Memorial National Debt.
• Remembering Ronnie

And the quote of the week
