This weekend is the 100th birthday of President Ronald Reagan with many events scheduled throughout the country. In particular, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library here in Simi, CA is having a centennial celebration, focusing on the Gipper’s accomplishments without, of course, acknowledging his failures.
NPR is featuring a great story today about the growing, largely unbalanced myth of President Reagan’s legacy, mostly fueled by the right-wing, anti-tax historical revisionism of Grover Norquist and others.
