Hey, did the Reagan dime ever become approved?

I mean, our budget has so much surplus money in it that the amount of money spent on deliberating this oh-so-important topic shouldn't be buried by those rabid enough to want it...

Like Saddam, Reagan's annoying face on a coin seems to have gone AWOL...

1. It's totally screwed up, I know...

...but it'll help the needy a little. I won't carry one in my pocket. Every time I get one in change it's going in a can, and from there to a charity. I like to think that'd piss Ronnie off royally.

2. Ronnie wouldn't know...

And I don't mean because he's not seeing you do it... He was rather "that way" when he was Prez as well... x(

Nice idea though.

Dunno if I'd give the dimes to the Match of Dimes though. That'd be an insult... I'll send them quarters instead.

3. Nope...

Nancy Reagan said she thought it was a lousy idea, and the nitwit Republicans dropped it.

4. I recall Nancy disapproving of the idea...

Which is commendable, courageous, and not to forget very surprising.

But I didn't expect the repukes to drop it.

Glad they did though. Isn't the airport enough?

5. Doubtful

Just another "weapon of Mass Distraction" they throw at us to get our minds off important stuff like war, failure in the War on Terrorism, the economy, and so on.

Also, see: Defense of marriage, steroids in baseball, broadband internet in every home, etc.
