Well, NBC News shows us how, and, as a bonus, manages to include Hillary Clinton in the report, twice. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that the four-minute, 12-second report doesn't include at least one of the Kennedys.

Since Thursday, it has emerged that Haslam’s other commitment was a fundraising reception hosted by Democratic fundraiser David “Ace” Harrington. Harrington has [...]
Rod Williams is awful upset about that:
His absence speaks volumes. It is an outrage that he skipped this celebration. We know a JFK or Ronald Reagan would have been there and I cannot even imagine Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton skipping this celebration of the event that ended the [...]
David Oatney reports from the Tennessee Conservative Union’s Reagan Day:
Haslam sent people and bought tables, but a conservative event in his own hometown was not good enough for him to be there and actively stump for himself. Bill Dunn is one of the few reputable conservatives openly supporting Haslam [...]

Gingrich tries the talk down the tea party sympathizers:
“Both parties have to recognize, you can create a center-right majority in America, which we did with Reagan in ‘80 and we did it again with the ‘Contract with America’ in ‘94,” Gingrich said in an interview with CNN Radio. “You [...]

This is a sad time in world history. The “Shining City on a Hill,” so often referred to by Ronald Reagan, has fallen.
The great American Spirit has been broken by a socialist government, which feeds on power and [...]
Reagan Farr looses in court again. I wonder how much he cost the state total now in failed lawsuits and goofy policy like the tobacco agents across state lines. [...]
