Historical Quote of the Day (AP)


"A moment I've been dreading. George (Bush Sr.) brought his ne're-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida. The one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republican and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work."

-- Ronald Reagan in his recently published diaries, written May 17, 1986


I just had to share this, it's so great. Enjoy. I say it's relevant to my blog because I like to go running up by the Ronald Reagan Ranch. It's one of the most beautiful places around. You have a view of the ocean one in one direction and the mountains in the other. Both views are unspoiled by any sort of buildings or homes. Let's hope it stays that way for a while.
