"A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne'er-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida. The one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work."
-- Ronald Reagan in his recently published diaries, May 17, 1986.

George's Ne'er-Do-Well Son
I found this tidbit on the blog of Santa Cruz columnist, Bruce Bratton. Did Reagan really write this? He obviously had quite a sense of humour. In fact, we're still paying for it.
