6. This Reagan Dime B.S. is an insult
Roosevelt is on the dime because of his support for the March of Dimes, an organization for polio sufferers. It just so happened that the President was afflicted with polio himself (thought I should mention that in case any Freepers are around).

So why do they want Reagan on the dime?

9. Fortunately, Nancy Reagan seems to agree with you
She already just said NO. Let's hope they at least respect her wishes, since they couldn't care less about ours.

Why do they want Reagan on the dime? And on schools, airports, libraries, etc. all over the world? Dunno. But it's funny that the 13th chapter of Revelation mentions that there will be two beasts, or Antichrists, and that the second will command the worship of the first. Bush Jr and the PNAC crowd treat Reagan as if he were the messiah. And oddly enough, both Ronald Wilson Reagan and George Walker BushJrhappen to work out to 666.

8. Gaah! I looked at it!
Good thing even Nancy doesn't want her husband on the dime:

When Reagan's wife says "no" I think the neocons should listen.

put out by the GOP for this week.

12. Randi Rhodes (lib talk show host) said that
The reason that FDR was on the dime was that it was minted for disabled people. FDR had polio and that is why he is on the dime.
No Reagan here.

"March of Dimes?" Sound familiar?

13. We can start engraving little Hitler mustache's as soon as
they hit the streets. Heck, I'd even consider making a minting type machine that will automatically stamp them on.

Congratulations, Nancy, for showing some good sense and class.

(When it happens, by all means praise it.)

19. Class?
Hardly. She knows that a debate about Reagan would bring all the skeletons out of his closet. Read the latest Conason piece in salon about it.

15. anyone here old enough to remember the March of Dimes?
I remember in fifth grade getting those sheets with the little half-pockets that just fit a dime. I think there were 10 or 20 of thelittle pockets, so if you put in a dime a week it took you a couple of months or so to come up with a buck.

we also got lessons about the kids we were helping, 'Weekly Reader' stories about the doctors trying to find a vaccine, and we learned that determined people could work together to make things better. and even the poorer kids usually could come up with a dime a week. it did our self-esteem good , though nobody called it that at the time.people working off of MoD money cured cancer.

i still send a few bucks to the March of Dimes now and then. they're still working on preventing birth defects and childhood illnesses. as far as i know they are an impeccable nonprofit charity. good for them.

16. I heard that when you put them in a jelly bean dispenser...
The machine eats the dime and spits out a picture of Nancy with the message "Just say no."

We know who gets the jelly beans...

Oh, Bonzo!
