It's a slow news day.
Besides, it's a national day of mourning and I'm too busy weeping. Reagan is spending a lot of time on airplanes this week; traveling from California to Washington and back again. Maybe they should keep his body in the air at all times on that Air Force 747, forever flying heroically over the beloved country. Every time it flies overhead people will salute and say, "there goes the step-father of our country." Maybe they could even equip the plane with space lasers to fight communists. Would that be too much of a burden on the federal budget? Wait, who cares! Deficits don't matter!
