Valin Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Shot In the Dark: Mitch Berg February 6, 2015 The jelly beans are on my desk, to greet passersby. I’ve got a pot of stew in the crock pot, ready for the traditional family dinner, when I tell my kids how unlikely it is they’d have been born but for today’s birthday boy, and why. It’s time for the official Shot In The Dark holiday. Today would be Ronald Reagan’s 114th birthday. I’ve been writing about Reagan – who, along with PJ O’Rourke, Solzhenitzyn, Dostoevskii and Paul Johnson is the reason I’m a conservative today – as long as this blog has been in existence. His eight years were not perfect, and I don’t beatify my presidents, even if they’ve been out of office for twenty years (to say nothing of in their first month of service). His last term wasn’t as stellar as his first, and his last two years were very difficult. Still and all, he was the greatest president of the second half of the 20th Century.
