One step further - Mount Rushmore with Reagan's face!

Not is there talk about Reagan bucks and a "Regagon," but now there's word Reagan's image might be added to Mount Rushmore.

Hmmm...this is getting very out of hand.

So when's the remake of "Bedtime for Bonzo"?

I watched some of the proceedings in DC this afternoon, and I was wondering....

I might be wrong, but this is the first funeral I can remember where the widow was applauded. And hooted, as in what one might hear at a sporting event or rock concert. I thought it in very poor taste, but maybe I'm just out of touch with this national sentiment, or at least the acceptable ways of showing support to the surviving family. Should I just go out and buy a clue?

I think applauding in church is rude, too... but what do I know?

Yeah, why's that?

To me the Clinton memorial is out of hand.

It does seem strange to hear applause at a funeral. But this is different in two respects. First, he was 93 when he died. Hell I hope I make it to 70! Second, people just have so much admiration for President Reagan, loved him so much, I think they are just applauding the passing of a great man, much like they would have if he was passing by in parade.
