The accoustics in the Rotunda are heavenly, and the USAF Singing Sergeants are too.

Just when I think I can't respect W or Cheney anymore than I do, they blow me out of the water.
Oh this song is slaying me. I am a blubbering idiot over here!

Nancy may have accepted some mild sedation on the advice of her physician, just to get through this ordeal. I know I would even though I do not take sedatives.

God bless you, Vice President Cheney. You spoke for all of us.

I think Clinton's funeral should involve scattering his ashes at the Mena Airport, somewhere near where those boys "died" on the tracks.

"Malaise" is -- to my ear -- utterly tied to Jimmy Carter; God knows he was ridiculed enough about it. He didn't have to mention Carter by name.

I'm sure Nancy Reagan is feeling plenty of emotion right now but she also has dignity and class.
*** Yep I agree... class and dignity... I could not sing that song. How are those Airmen doing it? That's what I call military bearing.
To: Cboldt
I'm gone too. Cheney is a great speaker and knows exactly what to say.
To: DoughtyOne
Amen to that, That was a very moving eulogy given by Dick Cheney in honor of Ronald Reagan

Since I don't wanna go to jail, I will just do it the old USPS way. I will start burning the earlier event today.
Thanks for the thought.

True...but I bet you Starbucks, there will not be the outpouring of Americans for him. No tens of thousands to pay their respects.

Too bad Lee Greenwood couldn't sing "God Bless the USA".
It was another favorite of Reagan's.
