They began on Saturday, just hours after he died.

watch for the riderless horse following behind the caisson. There will be a saddle on the horse. The boots in the stirrups will be facing backwards, signifiying a fallen warrior. The boots used will be Reagans own riding boots. I will be blubbering when it goes by.

The caisson and the six horses that pull it originally was used to supply soldiers on the fighting lines. The three horses are riderless because in the original caissons go rolling along those riderless horses carried supplies.

It has not always had the funereal reference.

Did LBJ have the riderless horse as well?

I believe so

I sure did and the guy actually handled it very well -- he said he respected Pres Reagan which wasn't what she was expecting IMO.

I like Natalie Morales but they could lose that other woman reporter. She is the daughter of a military family and it showed when she talked about the military getting cheers when they came out.

So, to her, six billion dollars in seven years isn't enough?

See but they heard that repeated lie enough times that they believe it.
