I lost it with "Hail to the Chief" too -- and I'm not much better with "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

On post # 267 of this thread I posted pics of the ceiling image that will be above the casket while it lies in state. Those two should have been on here on FR. :)

Just saw Dashole laughing his buns off in the Capitol. Pelosi, to her credit, was somber. Kind of makes you want to go up and slap him silly, doesn't it?
I hope voters in South Dakota saw what you saw.

I figured I could always fly my cat out to DC, so she could bury him in the sand.

I'm a goner too. I feel so bad for Nancy, this has to be tearing her heart out. While it's good to honor him, I wonder about what kind of toll a huge state funeral takes on the family, her in particular.
The closeups of her are just shattering me.

Nancy looks remarkably serene during the Battle Hymn
