Meanwhile the 'spin' on Ray Gunn continues. Lotta Repugs, and now Tea Baggers consider the idiot prez, B-grade actor, some sort of latter day saint. Yep!
Hard ta b'lieve, but true nonetheless! Meanwhile youngest son Ron, continues his book tour. His latest 'biography,' takes a serious look at dad's dementia, and possible signs of early Alzheimers disease. The period in which wife number two, Nancy and her 'astrologer' ran the country.
Saint my ass! He slepy through most of his staff meetings...and backtracked on more'n one of his policies. Glad he's gone!

America celebrates Ronald Reagan's 100th birthday
The centennial of the birth of President Ronald Reagan was celebrated across the United States in grand style over the weekend, with tributes ranging from a Beach Boys concert to a gala at his boyhood home.

There was due to be a two-minute film about the life of America's 40th President, and the man hailed as a hero in helping end the Cold War, broadcast before tens of thousands of fans at the Super Bowl in Dallas.
Nancy Reagan was to lay a wreath at her late husband's grave in Simi Valley, California, as F-18s launched from the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan flew overhead and troops performed a 21-gun salute.
Centennial and bicentennial celebrations for US presidents have been a time-honoured American tradition but the scale and enthusiasm for the Reagan events is unprecedented and underlines the Republican icon's status as an American great.
Mr Reagan, who died in 2004 at the age of 93 after a long struggle with Alzheimer's, is regarded as the pre-eminent political figure of his age. He remains a powerful figure for potential Republican candidates for the White House in 2012, who are attempting to capitalise on his popularity.
The tributes were coordinated by the Ronald Reagan Foundation and the Reagan Centennial Commission, a panel specially formed for the anniversary by Congress with President Barack Obama's approval.
Among the events was the unveiling of a giant six-foot-by-six-foot birthday cake to be served to visitors at the newly-renovated Reagan museum in Simi Valley. On top of it were 20,000 jelly beans, the presidential seal and photos from Mr Reagan's life.
Jelly beans were Mr Reagan's favourite confection and for those who could not attend the celebrations there was the opportunity to order a 50-flavour jelly bean package that included posters featuring "words to lead by."
In Washington, volunteers handed out jelly beans to tourists. Unlike previous centennials, no taxpayer funds were used for the events. Instead, private donors like General Electric were used.
Mr Obama has been keen to associate himself with Mr Reagan, making it known that he read a Reagan biography during his Christmas holiday.
In a recent newspaper article, he wrote: "No matter what political disagreements you may have had with President Reagan and I certainly had my share there is no denying his leadership in the world, or his gift for communicating his vision for America."
Events will continue throughout the year, including the unveiling of new Reagan statues in London and at the airport in Washington that is named after him, a centennial postage stamp and 14,000 commemorative coins to be used for the opening toss at high school and college football games.

Not yet! Stop thinking negative thoughts about Zsa Zsa! After all she just celebrated her 94th. birthday, and looks forward ta 94 more! So there!
Zsa Zsa Gabor celebrated her 94th birthday Sunday after being released from the hospital earlier that morning.
Photos of Gabor and her husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, were released to the news media Monday so that "people can see that's she's not half-dead," Von Anhalt said.
"She's alert and happy," he said. The photos were taken by one of Gabor's housekeepers.
The photos show Von Anhalt posing next to Gabor with a giant chocolate birthday cake that reads "Happy Birthday Baby" in pink icing.
Gabor was rushed to the hospital last week after spitting up blood. The actress was treated for infections in her lungs and the leg that was recently partially amputated.
After a rough week of complications, doctors told Von Anhalt that the actress was responding well to treatment and could spend her birthday at home.

Zsa Zsa Gabor, a person famous for no apparent reason and with no visible means of support, is convicted of slapping a Beverly Hills police officer. Gabor later complains that she was denied a jury of her peers, saying "It was not my class of people, There was not a producer, a press agent, a director, an actor."
Actress better known for being herself than for any role she has played, she got in trouble with the law in 1989 for slapping a policeman in Los Angeles, not to be confused with her sister Eva Gabor who had better manners
