I just saw Michael Reagan. He is in the back. He should be up front with the others.

("If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under.")
To: Howlin
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on![chorus]
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps.
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on!
[chorus]
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
[chorus]
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on!
[chorus]
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me;
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

"My absolute favorite of all of our nation's hymns. I can cry just from reading the lyrics." Yes, mine too. And it is my fervent hope that children today will learn the lyrics, because of the central place that the hymn has had in this funeral.

And perhaps it's the millions of people around this country praying for her to be strong and for God to be standing next to her during this difficult time.

That is most decidedly not true. The greatest dollar value from horses is for their breeding services. Last year when Funnycide won the Kentucky Derby there was a lot of talk about the rarity of a such an expensive horse being gelded.There is a Clinton joke somewhere in there.

To: longtermmemmory
His plans should be public record. He is supposed to file them 1 year after leaving office. It was mentioned (I think yesterday) on Rush that Clinton has not filed. Rush was discussing a print news story that treated the Reagan family's planning role as some sort of power grab. Clinton hasn't filed, I'm sure, because he looks in the mirror and thinks, "How could God ever let something that good looking kick the bucket?"
