The Gipper turns 94

Ronald Reagan would have been 94 today. The man was held one rung below God in my household growing up. (Seriously - the hallway featured a portrait of the Virgin Mary on one wall, with signed and framed headshots of Reagan and Goldwater on the opposing wall. It's rather scary looking back on it.) I can't say the man was an influence on me directly, but it's doubtful I would have taken the ideological path I did had it not been for the praise heaped upon him everyday of my childhood.

Alchemist has a few thoughts, and here's a cool tribute.
