O Ronald...
At last your body is as dead as your brain.
As dead as all those homosexuals in the Eighties when you were hushing up AIDS, facilitating its spread and growth into the world-spanning plague it is today.
As dead as subtle political commentary.
But I don't hold AIDS against you, Ronald. You probably had no idea what was going on around you; you were more prune than man. Your long descent into Alzheimer's and dementia was something I would not wish on any man or woman, or house pet, or disembodied alien intelligence. But I am sure your humiliating and tragic decline was a price you would have been willing to pay so that the modern Republican Party could propagate senseless, irrational opposition to the stem-cell research that could some day keep others from sharing your incontinent fate.
As we stand now poised on the precipice of another election, your presidency seems to shine more brilliantly than it ever has before, much as a dull and leaden pebble might seem to shine when compared to a plate of hog's shit. I would rather have your baffled vacancy than George W. Bush's malevolent ignorance any day of the week. Though not as much as I'd like a government composed of rational persons.
Goodbye, Ronald.
You will be missed.
Just...not by me.

I love it. You speak of great truths. Tonight I paid tribute to the late Reagan by eating basamati rice with mayonaise on it.. It was what he would have wanted. In his feable state. Bless his heart..
Will there be an ABC origional made-for-t.v-movie about his endearing plight?
Oh, there will indeed. They've cast John Malkovich as Reagan; to prepare himself for the role, he's been rolling around giggling in his own filth for the last three weeks, calling everyone he meets 'Mommy'. If the movie is a hit, it could lead to its own television series...Every episode would end with Reagan spraying a mouthful of his own urine and saying 'Look at me, Mommy, I'm a fountain!'
