LIVE THREAD: Pres. Bush pays respects and calls on Mrs. Reagan

[alisasny]

Alot of dignataries are now showing up to pay respects. McCain, Guiliani, Gorby, Karzai, etc.

Cspan has live coverage. Bush expected at 7 but could be earlier? He is then going to visit with Mrs. Reagan.

Guard changes about every half hour at .28 and .58 of the hour. One is going on right now.

I wish Stanley Crooks was MY brother. He and his tribe members make over $1 million a year each from this little tribal enterprise.

Oh, whatever. Do you think James Baker is poor? Gorbachev is an American entrepreneur . Why bring ugliness to this thread?

[Lemondropkid31]

Good! :o) I am sorry I could not join ya, but I had barbeque chicken for dinner, then had a root beer float for snack.

The other observation was that Michael did not ride with Nancy and the other two children.

Since Michael did not live with Nancy and his Dad (at least not full time) it's not suprising that there is not the connection with Nancy that the other two, who are her children, have. He might not feel comfortable being right at her side, even now.

He lived with his mother and at boarding schools. Still, he really loves his Dad.

[Barlowmaker]

LOL. There's something about ringing video poker and slot machines that shout quiet dignity.

Hey, I'm just saying that if you were one of Crooks' siblings you'd be in the cash too.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I'm not going to argue with you. I'll let your statement hang out there by itself.

[Barlowmaker]

You don't know what you're talking about.

Glynn Crooks is no angel.

[Lijahsbubbe]

G-d bless President Reagan and G-d bless America.

I read that in fact she spent the other day doing just that.The fanily knew there would be an outpouring but did not expect to quite this level of response. I imagine this might be of some comfort but she is a woman who must spend an entire week burying her husband. Closure slow to come. Must be so difficult. She is amazing. So how are those pants coming?:)

[El Gato]

I look at their covers to be sure.

That's hats or caps for everyone in Rio Linda. :) Of course they have several different covers as well. Navy has at least 3 for officers and NCOs, and a couple more for junior enlisted. Not counting BDUs which all the services now wear, although the Marines and Navy wear a different style cover with them than Air Force and Army.

Here are the lyrics to the song the Reagan family chose for the CNN video:

" In this room
lives the sweet ghost
of a love gone away
it comes to me
whispering the things you used to say
between hills and valleys
the softness where we lay
in this room
it's lonely now
in this room
I can barely breathe
this air that speaks your name
it flows through me
from each corner
from the window frame
where we used to watch together
for the sun to rise agin
in this room
I miss you
in this room
there's a place on the wall
a picture of you and me
In this room
I can recall
the dreams you shared with me
and it felt like a castle
now it feels more like a tomb
in this room
I remember
they say true love never dies
but sometimes lovers do
and few ever realize
the kind of love we knew
in this room
there were flowers
sent to ease the pain
and I pray for hours
trying to understand
in this room."

Well, decided to just run them on the machine, instead of doing a blind hem stitch by hand. I've got very important things to be doing, like FReepin' and watchin' CSPAN. Lucky for me I took tomorrow off!

"everyone is forgiven by God"

I just have to challenge your statement.

Yes, Jesus did provide forgiveness for everyone .. but not everyone will ask to receive it.

People who are arrogant and hard hearted have not opened their heart to receive it. It doesn't mean they can't, but it's THEIR CHOICE. Bill will have to humble himself and ASK God for forgiveness; you cannot receive it without asking.

Probably will see Hitlary with her close personal "special friends".


Black Berets will be a requirement for the ladies.

"Glynn Crooks is no angel."

I'm sorry, but I've read through that article twice and cannot see anything that says Glynn Crooks is a criminal, or done anything illegal or bad. Maybe you see something I don't.

[El Gato]

Gee I'd hate to see them have to use those pig stickers on some crazed Democratic PhotoOp seeker who tried to crash the line. Well not really, other than upsetting the proper decorum.

[Barlowmaker]

He's no angel, that's all I said. You've got access to Google. Type in Glynn or Stanley Crooks. They're up to their ears in litigation. They also had one of their lackeys grease Bubba Clinton's warchest so that Secy. Babbitt would step in to thwart the Interior Department's authorization of Casino gaming at the Hudson, WI dogtrack back in 1998-99.

I don't trust his intentions here. The "Mystic Lake" tribe is under federal scrutiny right now regarding their membership policies and the use of hundreds of millions of dollars of annual profit.

Here are the lyrics to the song the Reagan family chose for the CNN video:

Oh my goodness, weeping, weeping!

[Barlowmaker]

Some light reading.

[Lijahsbubbe]

He's no angel, that's all I said.

And will you be scrutinizing the other thousands in line? This thread is about the honoring of President Reagan, not your judgement of the attendees.

[mass55th]

Thanks for the extra information on this. The article you posted the link to didn't really deal with Glynn Crooks, but his cousin. That's why I couldn't understand your comment.
