A Silver Anniversary Worth Remembering

Investor's Business Daily reminds us of something that we need to remember. It was twenty-five years ago that Ronald Wilson Reagan was elected President.

Supplement the IBD piece with James Taranto's tribute, which leads today's Best of the Web Today. Taranto nicely contrasts the nadir of postwar American life in the late 70s with its resurgence under Ronald the Great and his successors, among whom must even be numbered the Democrat president of the 90s who rolled back the Great Society.

And to think that Jimmy Carter has the nerve to peddle his book at such a time! We can only assume that it will be bought and read by people with short memories, bad judgment, or both.
