(starts with p and ends with k ... oh five letters)

I can't figure out what that word is. (It's approaching 2am and my brain is starting to glaze over, sorry)

I really liked Ron Jr's eulogy at the sundown service--he's inherited his father's speaking voice, if nothing else.

Read a transcript of Ron Jr. eulogy. It was empty and devoid of any LOVE, intimacy and respect for his father.

We'll disagree on that. His demeanor turned me off. I've been honored - as one of seven children - to be selected to deliver the eulogies for both my parents. It's a task that requires ultimate care and preparation. I found his approach and tenor offensive. It was humorless, glib, spiritually empty and narcissistic.

As was stated, Michael gave a eulogy that honored his father, and provided a visceral context to the man. Ron Jr. was working a retirement banquet for all the emotion involved. Bugged me MAJORLY!

I was not impressed at the veiled reference to Bush. I am not impressed that he used the opportunity of the event for the political capital it brought him. At least he did not drop trou and show his tattoo: "No more Iraq War!"

It was OK until he made the snide remark about President Reagna not wearing his faith on his sleeve, I supposed as opposed to President Bush,who is not ashamed to publicly declare his. Neither way is wrong,that's not what I'm saying,but he made it sound as if people should go around with their heads down and be furtive about their faith,when for many people it's one of the biggest parts of who they are and informs all they do. The day will come soon enough when people have to hide their faith. And I don't see liberals like him requiring Muslims or others than Christians to be "discreet" about their faith,like not wearing their headscarves or other symbols that they are REQUIRED to wear daily. He's another liberal hypocrite.
