:: NEWS COCKTAIL aka BlahBlahBlog ::
"Everything is being compressed into tiny tablets. You take a little pill of news every day - 23 minutes - and that's supposed to be enough." -Walter Cronkite, RE TV news. The Web has changed that for many, however, and here is an extra dose for your daily news cocktail. This prescription tends to include surveillance and now war-related links, along with the occasional pop culture junk and whatever else seizes my attention as I scan online news sites.:: 6.05.2004 ::
:: "Bush Says Reagan Helped Save the World" ::
From The Guardian UK
PARIS (AP) - President Bush said Saturday that Ronald Reagan's death is ``a sad hour in the life of America.''
Reagan ``leaves behind a nation he restored and a world he helped save,'' Bush said in remarks from the U.S. ambassador's residence in Paris.
Former Presidents Ford and Clinton also reacted on Saturday.
``Betty and I are deeply saddened by the passing of our longtime friend, President Reagan,'' Ford said in a statement. ``Ronald Reagan was an excellent leader of our nation during challenging times at home and abroad. We extend our deepest condolences and prayers to Nancy and his family.''
Clinton said it was fitting that a piece of the Berlin Wall is featured on the building in Washington that bears the former president's name.
``Hillary and I will always remember President Ronald Reagan for the way he personified the indomitable optimism of the American people, and for keeping America at the forefront of the fight for freedom for people everywhere,'' Clinton says.
