Fussin' and Feudin' Alert™:Reagan family war explodes!

Publication: Globe
Date: 7 February 2011

The Globe returns to a story they got right earlier this year, that Nancy Reagan is mightily upset at her youngest Ron Jr., who had the gall to print what everybody looking at the facts already knows, that daddy Ronnie was showing signs of Alzheimer's while he was in office, though the official diagnosis happened afterwards. Since the Globe calls it a war, some of the other children may be involved. It's interesting that those that sprung from the loins of Nancy are fairly liberal, while the older kids, adopted Michael and Jane Wyman spawn Maureen, are part of the "Dad was the greatest" crowd.

The late Reagan's 100th birthday is coming up, so expect to hear conservatives tell us what a terrific success he was, except for the parts about massively increasing the debt, funding Osama Bin Laden, getting 200+ Marines killed in Lebanon for no good reason, trading arms for hostages and breaking international law by funding the Contras and committing acts of war like mining Nicaragua's ports.

Fussin' and Feudin' Alert™:Nancy furious as Ronnie is betrayed in a tell-all book!

Publication: Globe
Date: 10 January 2011

There's nothing the supermarket rags love more than a tell-all book that will make some celebrity furious. This time, the alleged publication is by Ron Reagan Jr., and he gives details about his dad's battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Of course, Nancy, official polisher of the tomb, wants nothing to diminish the love people have for Ronnie, so the fruit of her loins is to be cast aside and made to wander in the wilderness.

In all fairness, I have to say that staged family photos back in the sixties were often awkward, but this one takes awkward and elevates it to an art form.
