Does that mean the Army fight song is based on funeral equipment?)

No, it's just a kind of vehicle/cart.

CSPAN is taking a call from someone who is "wondering how many gay men would be alive if he had done more". ENOUGH!

"Just wait - we're going to hear complaints about the 'huge cost' of all this."

They began on Saturday, just hours after he died.

Yeah, but no complaints about the cost and additional security required after the anti-war protestors descended on Washington several times...

The lib/dems on CSPAN all got the same talking points memo...AIDS/Reagan. That seems to be was most of the negative callers are harping on, because no one remembers much about Iran Contra. lol

MSNBC has the best reporting right now IMHO. Would really like it if Chris Matthews just quit talking.

Sheesh....I'm glad I decided to record the FOX coverage after all.....Cspan's callers would have ruined it!

Dollars to doughnuts the C-Span callers harping on Aids are serial callers...probably stuck in the DNC phonebank.

The boots will not stay in the stirrups facing forward without a foot in the boot.

Having ridden horses quite a bit - I'm at a loss as to how they'd stay in either case.
