Do me a favor folks, pink the mods, Bob J, Diotima, Jim Robinson, John Robinson. The news coming over the boob tube about what is happening in Simi Valley isn't telling it like it is - as usual.

The number of people out there is simply astounding.

LOL at your story. Thanks so much for sharing it. The media won't be able to hide events in DC quite as well as they can hide events in Simi Valley.

Nice to see you too, MUD..

Cboldt, it was so sad in so many ways. But, it was glorious, it was thrilling, it was insane, it was so much fun, it was unforgetable. So very many people, so well behaved, so incredibly patient - so impressive in number, in friendship, in raw Americanism.

Actually, the media can no longer hide the events in Simi either. It was just announced that the viewing hours are being extended to the last possible moment to accomodate the enormous crowds that are exceeding even the largest estimates of the planners.

"loved to have seen everyone's face"

Hehe... you didn't have to - the jaws hitting the floorboards were loud enough!

One thing I learned long ago in working often with law enforcement - they love the truth, and reward it.

Normally that gun is on hand at night in trecherous mountains near where I work, that has seen multiple murders nearby. I've just not finished getting the permit yet, and should have had it properly stored.

Thank you so much for your testimony.

Yesterday I was a pallbearer for my friend's mother, and as little as I knew her I identified with my friend (and have been seeing my own mother's health failing) and was pretty much a wreck.

And that, for people who wouldn't have voted for Reagan on a bet.
I can only imagine what it'd be like to file past the bier of Ronaldus Maximus. You'd probably have to scrape me off the floor.

In his two terms Reagan got the country going again, whipped inflation, ended the energy crisis, and transcended Communism.

But he also ended the "Fairness" Doctrine which had prevented the advent of conservative talk radio by imposing liberals' idea of fairness on broadcasting. Liberals' idea of fairness is and was, of course,

"Heads we win, Tails you lose."

I arrived at Reagan's casket in time to see an elderly Japanese couple stop and bow to Reagan repeatedly. I almost lost it right there. All I could do was snap a salute and get the hell out of there. You are right, the media is doing a poor job from what I see this morning on television. They are trying to hide the scope and scale of emotion and respect this nation had for Reagan. I'm happy to hear that the hours are being extended. I would bet that they will likely be extended again.

Dog, they can't hide it. On FNC last night they had a split screen all thru H&C. Many lovely young women in tears that the camera lingered on; an Indian man (I assume), bowing and giving Namaste; and, as I recounted on another thread: an older man w/a white beard and long white hair who was very muscular and seemed to me to look like a biker. He gave the casket a long salute, standing at attention, then crossed himself and then blew Reagan a kiss. It was wonderful.
