[Semper Paratus]

OOh, Cheneys just seated next to the IMPEACHED ex-42 and the evil sinator. Wow, did hillary! cast an evil look at them!

If it wasn't for the funeral Lyn should have her "I (Heart) Halliburton!" T-shirt.

[Lil'freeper]

EVERYONE is there which scares me to death!!! Who is sitting this one out in a safe location?

The thought occured to me as well.

Did you see the Fords on Larry King? He has trouble speaking well these days. It was touching and a bit funny to see the way Betty kind of takes care of him when he needs it, in his speech.

When you look at Major Jackman,and how tall,handsome,strong,polished,and supportive he is with Nancy,it makes me reminisce to a time when we all felt about not just our servicemen as our saviors and protectors,but men in general. I really miss that. George Bush makes us feel that way.He is compassionate and kind but very strong and very tough for us. He gives us the feeling that there is nothing he won't do to protect us,so that we can live our lives normally.

You can also wear pastel for mourning...light pastel and white are proper colors as is black.

"Wheres Jimmy?..."

No doubt asking North Korea what happened?

[ambrose]

Ford was the right man at the right time.

I believe he is 90.

[WestCoastGal]

I haven't seen him yet. Powell is there, Ashcroft is there, Tom Ridge is there. He had to sit in front of algore. Yuck.

Has anyone seen Rumsfeld?

[lainie]

And if we wanted to build it TODAY, the ACLU would file suit against it....

Absolutely 100% correct.

Our principal actually announced that she "hoped that the teachers would allow the students to view at least the funeral." Our faculty is very conservative (at least for a public school) and every room I've gone by, including the library, office, gym and cafeteria all have the service on. One of my students sang with the tenor "Ave Maria" and it was beautiful to hear.

[Terriergal]

re: Brit yep! I've heard others on Fox quote the Bible though I think, in the past.

Motorcade arriving. President Bush and Laura arriving. Amazing Grace on the organ.

[RummyChick]

Laura bush reached out and touched blair as they went down the aisle.

[Lil'freeper]

Laura just gave Tony Blair a squeeze on the shoulder.

[LisaFab]

The Reagans have hated the Clintons for many reasons

Most notably that i42 hired Hinckley's defense attorney during impeachment.

[lainie]

That was a beautiful rendition. Uplifting and warm and lovely.

[Mo1]

Well? .. she could .. I have no doubt in that *L*

The hearse is pulling up to the cathedral

[commish]

Procession has arrived. The Time of our national Farewell is uipon us. God speed President Reagan. I love you.
