My nephew, who is just back from Iraq, watched the funeral for Ronald Reagan and said that he wants to someday be a part of an honor guard that participates in one of these Washington occasions.

I guess one has to be a VERY highly regarded troop to do that.

He missed his true calling in life -- acting. It's why he fit in with the hollywierd types so well.

There is Dennis Hastert, at the head of the casket.

Well, at least he died in time to be honored by a Republican Congress...

Thank God that this funeral is the last major formal ceremony of a Republican Congress, not tbe first of a Democratic one.

Was he at his ranch in NM? If so I can understand why he's not there, weather slammed the area again this weekend.
