Daily Dope: Michael Reagan

(Michael Reagan image above from Salon.com)

Well,
lookie here! Dumbass right-winger and forgotten son Michael Reagan is whoring out the family name! Again!
L'il Mikey's selling Reagan.com e-mail addresses (seriously), so now America won't become that Evil Empire sinister liberal taxes have been funding for way too long.
Yup, Ronald Reagan's
other son has decided that your Gmail or Yahoo account amounts to a direct contribution to Communist/Socialist/Nazi Black Man Barack Obama, so he's selling out the Gipper, just like he's done for years. But this time, Michael Reagan has gone all Internet-y and stuff, and now you, too, can get yourself a little sliver of the dimmest, most over-rated president ever and prove to the world that you are a total asshole.

Please Don't Deface The Currency.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Ronald Reagan is honored by, among other things, an airport, a freeway, an aircraft carrier and -- ironically for a critic of big government -- one of the biggest federal buildings in Washington.
Now, some of the late president's admirers are launching a new effort to add another honor: printing his likeness on a $50 bill in place of Ulysses S. Grant's.
In polls of presidential scholars, Reagan consistently outranks Grant, said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry (R-N.C.), who introduced legislation to make the change.
A 2005 move to put Reagan on the $50 bill never made it out of the House Financial Services Committee, even though Republicans controlled the chamber at the time.
"President Reagan is indisputably one of the most transformative presidents of the 20th century," McHenry said in a letter to colleagues seeking their support. "Like President Roosevelt on the dime and President Kennedy on the half dollar, President Reagan deserves a place of honor on our nation's currency."
The move comes as efforts are underway in California and Nevada to name mountains after Reagan and as planning gets underway for a yearlong observance in 2011 of the 100th anniversary of Reagan's birth.

Who's planning that? Fox News?
