The boots on the horse are almost too much to see...

Yow--the casket weighs 400 lbs. That's why they just changed the pall bearers.

not CNN saying "10,000"- it looks like HUNDREDS of thousands. CNN is full of it .. there are alot more then that there
ABC radio was predicting 200,000 early this morning before the casket left California. Probably close to a million.

May the Lord bless him and keep him. May the Lord let his face shine upon him. And give him peace.
Farewell Ronald Wilson Reagan ... till we meet again, where every knee shall bend, and every mouth confess that Jesus is Lord.

Clinton's the only past president who didn't file a plan upon leaving office -- as he was supposed to.

OH the riderless horse just slays me. Just like this song does- I think the Battle Hymn brings images of the Civil War to my mind- and to me that is one of the greatest American sadnesses ever. It's just so sad!
