I knew there was a reason I didn't care for or about Sparks or Jonas.

Excerpt:

The Jonas Brothers singer Nick calls Reagan as his "personal hero", while Sparks adds, "Ronald Reagan's optimism and graciousness is a model for me in my career. I'm honoured to be a part of this leadership committee and give back just a fraction of the blessings I've received."

Not to mention her parents couldn't even spell her name right.

Great news! I hope their first project is to find a really bad health crisis to ignore.

Or perhaps they can touch on trickle down economics.

Ugh. I actually know and really like Jordin but this is just something that makes me sick.

Perhaps they can comment on amnesty for those who are here illegally. WWRD? What Would Ronnie Do?

You just know that they have no idea about Reagan or his politics. They were given those comments to read by their agents who thought that having them associated with a youth committee would be good for their images.

I wonder what Jordin's ITH castmates will have to say to her about this.

Maybe they'll tackle the inner city gang problem by selling them arms.

Jordin's really smart, Taz. Don't sell her short on that one.

I'm sure Miss "Stop Abortion Now" knows. I tried to link to that picture, but Flickr isn't cooperating.

Weren't the Jonaseses all into that purity ring movement, too? I'm sure they've been fed (from daddy) the "Saint Reagan single-handedly stopped Communism and tore down the Berlin wall with his bare hands" narrative.

Heck, if all I knew of Reagan was the news coverage after he died, I'd be pushing to get him on the dime, too.

Well then that being the case, screw 'em both.

Yea Calvin, the purity ring thing. Lol. I love the South Park episode where they skewer them for that.

It's not that much of a surprise. They may be giving the Reagan name lip service but they both come from conservative, evangelical families.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I thought a promise ring was different from a purity ring. At my high school a promise right was a promise to f*ck.

I was hoping against hope it was THIS Reagan Youth they were joining:
