Ronald Reagan Rises from Grave

CALIFORNIA -- Sightings of Ronald Reagan have recently been recorded near the Reagan Presidential Library, where he was buried in June 2004. Several local residents claim that they have seen the former president up and wandering about the area as if he was in a daze.

"It just looked like he was kind of stumbling around," said Earl Stokes. "I don't think he really had any idea where he was going or what he was doing." Stokes, a grain farmer, was with a number of other friends on the night of August 3rd , when the first report was filed. "I looked up and saw this guy lurching about in the field. First I thought he was drunk, but then I got closer and saw his face. I said, 'shoot, ain't that Ronald Reagan?' and the other boys thought it looked like him too."

Asked about his experience of being close to a zombie, Stokes says it wasn't especially traumatic. "I wasn't really scared at the time. Looked kinda natural for him to be strolling around lost like that."

Leading scientist Edmund Blake at the University of Los Angelos was appointed to look into the matter. "Usually, zombies have some reason for coming back. Maybe they want to get revenge, or were just restless in the grave and are looking to be buried somewhere else," reported Blake. "This time it was different; he didn't seem to have much of a purpose. Honestly, I think he just couldn't remember that he was dead."

Blake's team of scientists managed to convince the Great Communicator that he was no longer one of the living, and he peacefully returned to his grave on the night of the 6th. "We really had a lot of trouble at one point when Reagan kept insisting he was just 'pining for the fjords.' Fortunately, we were able to make him see the truth."

Nancy Reagan, who only looks like the living dead, has declined to offer any statement about the whole affair. On the other hand, President Bush was quick to defend the former Republican. "If he wants to wander around, that's fine with me. Zombies are just as American as baseball and apple pie."

Notes:
   The ending is a little abrupt, maybe?
   If anyone could tell me exactly where in Cal-ee-fahn-ya the Reagan Library is, that would be appreciated.
   Suggestions/Comments welcome.

This strikes me as a bad idea.

I'm just getting over the circus that was Reagen's death and burial, so I really don't need a reminder of it. It's not funny in the least. Scrap, burn, and try something else.
