25 years ago today Ronald Reagan was shot. It didn't stop him from being the
greatest President of the 20th century.

Glory!

I was underway between Subic bay and Deigo Garcia 25 years ago today. A
guy on the ship said he had a dream of the president getting shot, and
we heard it about it later in the day. Spooky

Were we you when Regan was shot?

No, William Howard Taft was the GREATEST U.S. President of
the 20th century.

** *** ** *** ** begin quote ** *** ** *** **

"Needing a big bathtub, Taft had a 7' long 41" wide tub
installed that could accommodate 4 normal-sized men."

** *** ** *** ** end quote ** *** ** *** **

There are certainly many superlatives that could be applied
to President Reagan, but he was not specifically the
"greatest." For example, Reagan had the most successful
career in Hollywood of any U.S. President. He was the first
Governor of California to succeed to the Presidency. Reagan
was the only divorced President. He was the first
cnservative President to appoint a woman to the Supreme
Court. And so on.

Just because I found it somewhat interesting, here are some
more facts about Taft:


** *** ** *** ** begin quote ** *** ** *** **

William Howard Taft was the first president to have a car at
the White House (he had the White House stables converted
into a 4-car garage), to throw out the first ball to begin
the professional baseball season, and the first president to
be buried in the National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.

Arizona became a state on February 14, 1912. Making Taft the
first President of 48 states.

Taft liked milk so much that he brought his own cow to the
White House. The cows name was Mooly Wolly. Mooly was
replaced by another cow called Paulin. Paulin was the last
cow to graze on the White House lawn.

Taft had no military experience and there were no wars
fought during his term.

Many other things stopped him from being the greatest President of the
20th century, but you are correct that it wasn't that bullet.

Regan was in the know about aliens & UFO's.

She was into astrology.

Regan was allowed to view the craft and dead alien pilots. He often
made refrences to it.
Remember the UN speech about it?

General Assembly of the United Nations. Towards the end of his speech
to the Forty-second Session on September 21, 1987, the President said
that, "in our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget
how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some
outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond.


"I occasionally think," continued Reagan, "how quickly our differences
worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside
this world. And yet, I ask" -- here comes the clincher -- "is not an
alien force ALREADY among us?"

Well the key clue to his being in the loop is that he acknowledges that
he often thinks about the subject.

Why waste time thinking about a problem unless you are going to have to
face it?

Goldwater wanted to see the UFO's but Curtis LeMay wouldn't allow it. He
said so on the Art Bell show.

Amen!

He was referring to his fellow Californians.

Where is Waterton?

By the way, I toured that Denver plant when they had an open house one
Sunday in the early 70s. Absolutely fascinating. We got to get up close
and personal to the launch vehicles they had there--can't recall which they
were--plus touring the prototype for the Skylab Multiple Docking Adaptor and
being hands-on with the Viking Mars lander. That tour was a high-point in
my young life at the time.
