In the photo Nancy looks like she might not be here for the festivities in February. In the interest of fairness and balance I've attached the beginning of my favorite piece on Reagan, written in 1968:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger assists former First Lady Nancy Reagan as they walk to a ceremonial bill signing for California SB 944 and AB 1911 at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley on July 28, 2010. SB 944 officially designates Feb. 6 of each year as Ronald Reagan Day in California. AB 1911, written by Assembly Republican Leader Martin Garrick, honors President Reagan for his life's accomplishments and his contributions to California, and it establishes the California Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission, which will be tasked with honoring and promoting the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's birthday on Feb. 6, 2011.

RONALD REAGAN AND THE CONCEPTUAL AUTO DISASTER. Numerous studies have been conducted upon patients in terminal paresis (GPI), placing Reagan in a series of simulated auto crashes, e.g. multiple pileups, head-on collisions, motorcade attacks (fantasies of Presidential assassinations remained a continuing preoccupation, subjects showing a marked polymorphic fixation on windshields and rear trunk assemblies)....

Subjects were required to construct the optimum auto disaster victim by placing a replica of Reagan's head on the unretouched photographs of crash fatalities.

In 82% of cases massive rear-end collisions were selected with a preference for expressed fecal matter and rectal hemorrhages. Further tests were conducted to define the optimum model-year. These indicate that a three year model lapse with child victims provide the maximum audience excitation (confirmed by manufacturers' studies of the optimum auto disaster). It is hoped to construct a rectal modulous of Reagan and the auto disaster of maximized audience arousal.
