Standard Deviance has just received an exclusive tip on an earthshattering piece of news: Former President Ronald Reagan has died at the age of 93. I know this must be a shock to many of you. Luckily, we here at Standard Deviance have amassed all the news coverage of this astonishing development. First, it appears that the president has been sick for quite some time. It's true, really. Also it has been discovered that President Reagan was not only actor during the 40s and 50s, but he also was the governor of California. One AP writer reported that Reagan "dominated 1980s politics", and we here at Standard Deviance, after much research, have connected this dominance to his 8 year presidency that stretched from 1981 to 1989. We've been told that in a major departure from presidential funeral procedure, President Reagan will be laid in state and then buried.
