Nancy‘s Back! 
Presumably refreshed by her late night seances with Commander In Chief and departed husband Ronald Reagan, Nancy Reagan made a triumphant return to Our Nation’s Capital Tuesday.
She saw Reagan immortalized in stone at the Capitol, watched President Obama sign a bill creating a Reagan Centennial Commission, and lunched with Michelle Obama.
A ‘joyful‘ Reagan knocks out California’s statue honoring Thomas Starr King, credited with keeping California from seceding during the Civil War, replacing it with a memorial to the man who wrecked everything.
The Sculptor’s Pre-Joy Work Elsewhere 
Reagan’s placement in the hallowed halls is owed to Representative Ken Calvert, previously best known for consorting with prostitutes and jailed lobbyists, so scurvy that even conservative organ Human Events runs best-of hit pieces on him.
Ken draws inspiration from the Gipper, but struggles to articulate just how:
“”Madam Speaker, there are too many accomplishments for me to name here, but it is clear that President Reagan was a Californian, an American, and a Patriot.“
As a bitter few have repeatedly complained, previous presidential centennial commissions have had broadly representative boards This entity will be a creature of the Reagan Foundation, which will hold the majority of seats. We can look forward to the Regan Centennialists federalising whatever crackpot schemes the Reagan Library cares to put across.
Let’s hope for more detail on Nancy’s dinners and dresses, possibly cross-referenced with day-by-day time-lines drawn from his diaries and letters to Nancy.
Happy Days Ahead! 
Nancy Reagan speaks to Vanity Fair‘s beloved Reagan conduit Bob Colacello, and we learn she communes with the deceased former chief executive.
“I see Ronnie. At nighttime, if I wake up, I think Ronnie’s there, and I start to talk to him. It’s not important what I say. But the fact is, I do think he’s there. And I see him.“
But these apparitions are apparently but a foretaste of the glorious communion to come, when Nancy and Ronnie are somehow reunited in death.
‘Cause Billy Graham told her it was so!
“I said to him, ‘Just tell me if I’m going to be with Ronnie again. Just tell me that and I’ll be O.K.’ He said, ‘You are.’ And I said, ‘O.K.“
No word on if the aged evangelist’s thinks Nixon or the Jews will be coming along.

Friday In A Hall With George             
Former President Bill Clinton’s joint appearance with his despised [ if not quite as much as before] successor has not gone unnoticed.

Bill Clinton: A Disgraceful George W Bush Enabler
A thoughtful George W. Bush once said his successor “deserves my silence.” Would that his predecessor felt the same.
