isnt the reaganfest longer than that accorded to any other dead president in memory?
i remember hearing factoids about reagan having worked this whole thing out well before he died. who is paying for all this? is this being paid for by the public?
does it not strike you as being more like the kind of public mourning ceremony that you would see in a monarchy?
i watched a little of yesterdays particularly repellent spectacle on one or two of the 24/7 "news" channels--the sequence of the body of the Leader being flown into andrews air force base in particular, and kept thinking of "triumph of the will"
i do not understand......
