Can I come out of my basement yet?
Remembering how it was after Nixon's death, I went in my basement, shut off the TV, and the radio, and have not opened the papers since Reagan died. Is it safe to surface yet? Or do I need to go back down for another week?

I hear in Canada there is not word one about the guy. True or not?

The Truth About Reagan And AIDS

Excerpt:

The most memorable Reagan AIDS moment was at the 1986 centenary rededication of the Statue of Liberty. The Reagan’s were there sitting next to the French Prime Minister and his wife, Francois and Danielle Mitterrand. Bob Hope was on stage entertaining the all-star audience. In the middle of a series of one-liners, Hope quipped, “I just heard that the Statue of Liberty has AIDS, but she doesn’t know if she got it from the mouth of the Hudson or the Staten Island Fairy.” As the television camera panned the audience, the Mitterrands looked appalled. The Reagans were laughing. By the end of 1989, 115,786 women and men had been diagnosed with AIDS in the United States—more then 70,000 of them had died.

3. Hope was big time friends with Alex Spanos...
...who owns the Chargers, and is currently taking the city to the cleaners over a ticket guarantee. Both Hope and Spanos used to go on their good buddy Rush Limbaugh's show all the time, and do a lot of back slapping on the air.
