Then you missed Pelosi and Boxer lean forward over the rope and then look at each other and throw each other a kiss. I kid you not.

Well if the president's choose their own funeral, you know it will be the biggest and most elaborate ever and cost the taxpayers bazillions and no one will show up.

On the contrary, millions will show up.

To make sure he's dead.

Worth repeating:

My buddy watched as Kerry cut in line in Simi Valley to get his photo op yesterday. He said people were booing....

Clinton will have a funeral barge that floats down the Potomac, taking him to his final resting place, the Ramthis I pyramid.

NBC talking about the day the secret service had to tell him he couldn't ride his horses anymore....continuing on with his later years. Secret service agent...more tears.

This is such a nice thread I apologize for posting this.

I have a friend that is in the protective services. A few days ago he told me a story told to him by a secret service agent.

The agent was stationed at the White House for the first time. They told him he could greet people at his post but there was one person he should not talk to. Not even act as if they were there if that person was in the area.

He was posted in a hallway his first day and was saying hello to people. Then the one person he was told not to pay attention to came down the hall. Despite what he had been told the young man said "Good Morning Ma'am". The woman never even looked at him as she walked by. But as she did Hillary Clinton said "f*** you!"

Yes, but the horse appears to have a bandage where his balls should be--SGT York has had a tough week.

However, the onlookers have no way to express their appresiation to Nancy BUT applause.

Thank you. I don't think it's disrespectful at all.

If they wanted dead silence they wouldn't have pumped up the crowd with a marching band.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry D-Mass., right, puts his hand over his heart as he pays respect to former President Ronald Reagan at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. on Tuesday, June 8, 2004.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry , D-Mass., is shown with his daughters Vanessa, left, and Alexandra as he leaves Oasis in Los Angeles on Tuesday, June 8, 2004.

My buddy went...I dont have any reason to think he is joking.

oh, I see it all the time during the Air Show at Edwards AFB....those alarms going all day long...

Last fall a B-1 crew took a slight detour to buzz a crew member's relatives here in Freeport, IL. They set off ever car alarm at Kmart and the community college...

I was loving it when it came past my house and made a long sweeping turn west. A great opportunity to remind my kids that jet noise is the sound of freedom.
