My loathing for Kerry has no words...he is a typical, tedious member of the grey Massachusetts liberal elite. Scum, in other words.

I couldn't have put it better myself. And my late husband, a FReeper from New England, would probably have had similar words if he was alive today.

But back to the important issues (in other words, Reagan, not Kerry) I thought Margaret Thatcher's appearance to be one of the more "uplifting" images on what was a somber day in Washington (the woman certainly has style! I thought the top hat was a lovely touch)... the F-15's flying the "missing man" formation brought a tear to my eye, but the riderless horse in the procession nearly had me choking up.

"Truly the end of the twentieth century", as my father put it as we watched the news this evening. I looked at him in quiet amazement, and nodded. I'd never thought of that, but in reality it's so very apt.

It is definitely the end of an era. It remains for us to define the themes of the new era. Hopefully we will use Reagan and Thatcher to provide inspiration.

Very wise words indeed.
