For anyone who’s managed to miss the news, Ronald Reagan has finally died.

When I was younger, I always planned to have a party to celebrate this occasion; however, it now seems not quite right. I’m not sure whether that’s because 17 years of Reagan being a very long way from any kind of power at all has mellowed my view towards him, or because the past three years have reshaped my view of what a truly bad American president is like.

Both, I suspect.
