Dear Nancy Reagan;

[ColbertWatcher]

Stem cell research will now be a reality.

FDR will not be taken off the dime.

Sincerely;

The American Voters.

1. I'll bet somewhere, Nancy is looking down and smiling

at the computer screen, over Ron Reagan's shoulder.

3. Huh? She's still with us isn't she?

I thought she recently was hospitalized, but she hasn't died has she?

But yeah, Ron kinda makes up a little bit for some of the crap his parents did.

4. yes, she is still alive

I don't think she felt she could come out and endorse a Democratic candidate publicly, but I like to think she is privately pleased with the results.

As ColbertWatcher notes, stem cell research will go ahead, which she supports, and the dime will not be changed to have Ronald Reagan on it, which change she has said she would not support.

Castner was rushed to the hospital where he learned that his neck was broken and he was paralyzed from the chest down.

At the time, Castner was working as a Lutheran pastor in Washington. Castner was born in Great Falls and lived here until he was 9. He graduated from the University of Montana. His parents Jack and Pam Castner still live in Great Falls. Now Castner works as a pastor at an assisted living home in Loveland, Colo.

Two weeks ago, Castner returned from Germany where he received a stem cell transplant, which may eventually help him walk again.

Already Castner has more body function than his doctors ever expected him to.



this is so sick that we can't get this in the US.
