Do that again, and I'm mashing abuse.

No more Clinton, please!

Grace, style, and a proper British upbringing!

Here on the Central California coast, about 100 miles NW of Simi Valley, gloomy. Or course, it might burn off and be sunny later on. Stars, where you at?

Thanks! Very Sharp and Powerful Dress Uniform.

Fox is Great no chit-chat. Just flipped the channels and the 3 stooges, Tom Brokaw, Petie Jennings and I'd Rather not Dan Rather all just blab away about exactly what were looking at.

Like the audience can't figure it out for ourselves.

thanks for the cathedral pictures...you have the talent to grab all the correct shots

[RSmithOpt]

No words needed for that picture. Awesome statement.

[proud American in Canada]

No one is sitting near the Clintons!

I'm listening to ABC radio (that's all I have access to). They can't keep quiet... There's a voice choir singing, but I can't make out WHAT they are singing. Can anyone help?

The weather will turn perfect after the bagpiper does Amazing Grace.

[prairiebreeze]

Send the War Slut an email. You'll feel better about it.

"Sucking up to the Americans?" sheesh.....

General Jackman's wife,Cathy, has escorted President and Mrs. Bush for the funeral proceedings. She is from Fayetteville, NC. Our paper had an article about her this morning.

C-SPAN zooming in on stained glass window of Christ the King. Beautiful.

Looks like some pretty severe weather coming in from WV. I just checked it out on weatherunderground.com and it big, nasty, and moving at about 30 knots. It appears it will arrive in DC early this afternoon. Anyone planning to take up station along the routes should be prepared to get wet or dress appropriately and carry an umbrella. Also, lightning will be a factor so stay away from trees and lamp posts. Stay safe Freepers!

Um I heard its raining pretty hard there did Hillary (Wicked Witch of the East) melt yet?

What are Bill and Hillary even doing in the building?! Quick, somebody call security!

C-SPAN (thankfully) has NO comment... just pictures

[lainie]

I've never been to the cathedral. Plan to some day. My 7-year-old just told me "it looks like a wedding, mom."
