He was a dreadful President, certainly as far as the World was concerned. And, oh bugger, I'm still stuck with the fucking Pope in the Dead Pool. But there was also bond between me Ronnie Reagan - we shard a birthday: would you believe he was 57 years older than me. Yet from the age of 13 through 21 every one of my birthdays was marred because it was his. Bastard.
Yet, there is a part of me that feels enormous compassion for the empty carcas of a man that existed for so many years, and massive for sympathy for Nancy - which, of course, is just symbolic of the compassion I ought to - but can't - feel for the countless anonymous individuals in that same frightening, living hell.
Lets hope his passing really upsets Thatch...!
