This has the makings of a great horror movie.

So many questions:

Could he be cloned in time to replace Romney?

Could one drop into a city's water supply turn the entire population into stark raving mad, maniacal, supply siding, producers and eliminate poverty?

Who would be the highest cs.com conk bidder?

WWGVD (what would Grover Norquist Do)?

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation is taking legal action to stop an online auction of a vial alleged to contain the late president's blood.

"The Reagan Foundation is actively pursuing legal matters against both the seller and the auctioneer," spokeswoman Melissa Giller said Tuesday, according to AFP.

As of late Tuesday night on the East Coast, the top bid for the vial was $14,463.75. Bids will be taken until Thursday.
The vial has a label with Reagan's patient ID and surgeon's name at George Washington University Hospital. The winning bid also receives the accompanying lab slip.

The vial is a family heirloom of sorts, handed down from a lab worker at Bio Science Laboratories in Columbia, Maryland, who did the blood testing. The lab worker asked if she could keep the test tube and lab slip. "It has been in my family ever since," according to the statement from the vial holder on the auction site.

The holder originally contacted the Ronald Reagan Presidential National Library, which declined to accept the vial. The family might be interested in getting it back, the holder was told.

The vial holder, a former Army soldier, instead chose to go to an auction house. "I was a real fan of Reaganomics and felt that Pres. Reagan himself would rather see me sell it rather than donating it," she said on the auction site.

I would only bid if I could make a buck on it.

I would only bid if I could use it as anal lube and jerk with it.

That's just ghoulish.

But it's 31 years later, right? The assassination attempt was in '81.

Was watching a show the other night about Lincoln and whether he was dying of a disease before his assasination and they talked about how people collected pieces of him as keepsakes. One of the actresses in the play he was watching got blood all over her dress and reportedly used to wear the dress to parties to display the blood.

Not to go all D1B on you, but it's kind of like Catholics keeping relics of the Saints.

They're pretty sick. Keep in mind they also eat the flesh and drink the blood of their god every Sunday, so a vial of blood is child's play.

Supply side economics and objectivism are cult beliefs.

Same as the belief that Reagan was good for America.

Both are valid and necessary. None of us want a world devoid of self interest and/or one that punishes genius, hard work, motivation or talent. These concepts become problems when their proponents view them as absolute.

Take the "absolutes" out of religion and it ceases to exist. It becomes humanism.

Lincoln admitted to his law partner that he contracted Syphillis. Other suggest that he was severely depressed or suffered from Marfan Syndrome. A common theme from his peers was that he was "melancholy."

Interesting thought D. I'll have to think about that one for a bit.

They were theorizing he had multiple endocrine neoplasia.

No more than "progressivism".

Yes, you can make that claim of most if not all "ism's". Still, you think Obama is a progressive. But it's progressives that are the part of the left that take issue with Obama almost as much as conservatives. That's why you see a Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders occasionally joining forces.

I thought that was because they are both whackjobs from opposite ends of the spectrum.

Spoken like a true sycophant! You, Rahm, and David Axelrod need to get off Obama's dick for awhile.

What's funny is you think Obama isn't a "progressive".

Ideologically, Obama is a dyed in the wool "progressive" whackjob. If you don't think so, just listen to any of his interviews before he ran for president or US Senator, read what limited writings are out there he has penned. Look who he has associated himself with over the last 35 years. His mother was also a whackjob "progressive" and was described by her associates as a "fellow traveler" (Communist sympathizer), his grandfather was a Communist, the only black father figure he had in his life growing up, Frank Marshall Davis, was a Communist. He claimed in one of the books he wrote which nobody read that he gravitated towards the Marxist professors and radical students in college. He is various parts of Upton Sinclair, Woodrow Wilson, LBJ, and Emma Goldman all rolled into one. Truly one of the worst of the worst.

The problem he faces is that the US is a center-right country and as much as he would like to, he isn't able to govern as a "progressive". He tries to push the envelope with horrible policies like Obamacare (he truly wants a socialized single payer system, and Obamacare is the first step in that direction), looting the US Treasury of billions of dollars for failed so-called "Green" stimulus packages to firms like Solyndra, EnerDel, Evergreen Solar, SunPower, etc. etc. etc., thousands of pages of new regulations coming out of Washington on a weekly basis, the militant EPA, and on and on and on...

Ivy is right. When you're as much of a wackjob as Sanders and Paul, there will be a few issues where those two will align themselves.

This might be your strangest post ever, and that's saying something. Do you even know what a sycophant is? That hardly describes my attitude toward Obama.

No different than my annual visit to my CPA. Obama takes a chunk of me every year.
