Like most of my" co-blogers" my view of Ronald Reagan was and is decidedly mixed. I was in college when he was elected to a second term, and opposed to much of what he did in Latin America and social policy. However you have to admire the way he changed the public dialogue and drove liberals bananas. I send out my best wishes and prayers to his family.

However I did want to point out that the extended Reagan bio in the New York Times is a shameless hatchet job. Even in his death the left can't help themselves.
