Reports: Reagan slated for 2011 stamp
Washington Times ^ | 5/10/2010 | Mark A. Kellner

There he goes again.

Ronald Reagan, 40th president of the United States, is expected to "three-peat" as the subject of a U.S. commemorative postage stamp on the occasion of his birth's centennial next year.

The Web site of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Library lists the issuance of a U.S. Postal Service commemorative stamp among the planned events for the Reagan Centennial Celebration.

"The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation is planning a series of exciting events, programs and initiatives to celebrate this historic moment including . . . Commemorative postage stamp," the site says.

Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform and a Reagan aficionado who has led a campaign for nationwide public commemorations of the 40th president, doesn't doubt the stamp will appear.

"If the Reagan Library has it, they've been told," he told The Washington Times.

The Reagan birth-centennial stamp was reported in the May 24 issue of Linn's Stamp News, which bills itself as the "world's largest weekly stamp" newspaper. Linn's also noted the mention of the stamp by U.S. News & World Report "Washington Whispers" columnist Paul Bedard. Linn's writer Jay Bigalke told The Times he has received independent confirmation of the stamp from within the Postal Service.

If the Dems are still in charge of Congress in 2011, I hope it’s a picture of Reagan either (1) weeping, or (2) a picture from the “tear down this wall” speech...

There’s a weekly newspaper devoted to stamps?

1. Why not this one?

Two in one.

[YOY]

2. Dry humping the false idol they created.

n.t.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

7. He's just like Norman Bates' mother...

...they keep him in his room and they talk to him and he talks back.

[WeDidIt]

3. A Reagan stamp is entirely appropriate

It's a time honored tradition to honor presidents who have passed away with a stamp.

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Can we make an exception, and do one for Cheney if he'll croak ASAP?

[Hubert Flottz]

4. I could maybe see naming a douche bag after Saint Big Head.

Or maybe a fatal disease.

[Autumn]

5. You know what I like best about Reagan?

It's been over three days and he is still dead.

[ZombieHorde]

6. Let them get weak in the knees. Former Presidents are generic choices for US stamps. nt

[Solly Mack]

8. I'd rather lick shit...though I would be hard put to tell the difference.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. That figures. They can't wait to lick his ass.

[geardaddy]

10. DUzy

:thumbsup:

[MyNameGoesHere]

11. I want the photo of him

drooling and shitting in his diapers. Just as I hope he was at the end of his miserable existence.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

21. A true story...

...the Secret Service used to keep the leaves from his lawn in trash bags.

I don't remember where I read it, and the "LINK???" police can fucking bite me. There's a little thing called "Google" for all but the laziest among us.

When he was deep into Alzheimer's, for whatever reason, raking leaves gave him some form of peace.

The Secret Service would gather up the leaves, then empty them on the lawn again so he'd have something to do.

I am reminded of Neil Young's song, "Campaigner," and the lines "Even Richard Nixon has got soul..."

Make no mistake, anyone who's read a handful of my threads knows that I wipe my ass with Reagan AND his presidency...

...but what the fuck. People should go out in a blaze of glory, not raking leaves that they've raked 100 times before.

:patriot:

[geardaddy]

12. The Voice of the Turtle?

:shrug:

[ET Awful]

13. I honestly thought they'd give up on Ronnie after he didn't rise on the third day.

:evilgrin:

[Captain Hilts]

14. I'm excited about the Hepburn stamp...

[Jennicut]

15. Well, he was attractive when he was young. When I was in elementary school we thought of him as

old, doddering, not really there. He was President the entire time I was in that school and he just got older and more senile... Old Ronnie.

[Ian David]

16. I want the Carl Sagan stamp!

http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/Feb08/sagan.stamps.aj.html

In fact, I want billions and billions of them!

[lpbk2713]

18. Here's a RayGun image I'd like to see them use on a stamp.

"Now let's see ... What's my name again?"

[Mojeoux]

19. I remember stealing Chesterfields from my Aunt Vikki.

Good ol' Ronnie, bringin' back the good times!

[Dogmudgeon]

20. Let's campaign for a Robert Ingersoll stamp

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_G._Ingersoll">No images nor idols make / for Robert Ingersoll to break."
(Ambrose Bierce)

--d!

[FSogol]

22. Just write "Corrupt," "Evil," or "Dishonest" across any Reagan stamps

you see and mail them off. It'll be great fun!
