Where are all those politicians who embraced putting Ronald Reagan on every school, municipal building, airport, and bus station across the country? Is it no longer a quick route to voter popularity? Has gay-bashing become a more solid vote-getter?
Don’t they know that the postal service regulations say that U.S. presidents may be commemorated on a stamp after the first birth anniversary following their death?
Reagan’s birthday was February 6. When do we get to lick the back of his head and stick it on our bills?
[Wow! How did I miss the gala debut of this stamp on February 9? Thank goodness they did it just days after his birthday, I was worried there for a moment. There are so few things you can comfortably predict these days, and the continued deification of Ronald Reagan has always been a constant.]
The stamp was released earlier this month: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/02/10/reagan.stamp.ap/ You must have missed the star in the east.
