Please, for the love of God. Let this be the last day. Just put the coffin
in the ground already.

Please, I'm begging here.

And memo to Turner Classic Movies. No more "Ronald Reagan Movie Marathons", ok? Ronald Reagan was a grade B actor who appeared in Grade F films. Please spare the sensibilities of movie lovers like me.

Thank you.

2. I think "Bedtime for Bonzo" should play 24/7 for the next month....
...just to remind people what a third rate ham actor this clown was.

3. do you think Nancy is milking the Final Act for all it's worth?
seems that way ... even actors know when a scene is being overplayed ...

when it came to choices, she must have checked "all of the above"

but, it's apt considering his Presidency - I never thought it would ever end either ...


I conjecture that he was cremated, and is still in California to be close to Nancy ... this is all ceremonial ...

8. Did I read somewhere that he planned this
whole long drawn-out week while he was in the White House?

Had to laugh when I read your post - checked "all of the above" - that's funny.

4. I'm really really hoping today is the last day
This shameless display of worship on the part of the media has me convinced that they are ALL in the pay of the republican machine.

It makes me think its all hopeless, and makes me despair.

5. Like I said to someone yesterday at work...
we were talking about all the Reagan coverage, not really understanding why he deserved so much etc.
So I leaned over and quietly said to my collegue, "Good to the last shovel full!"
It appears this will/has been milked for all it's worth.

7. Raygoon Mania: A Theory
"shameless display of worship on the part of the media has me convinced that they are ALL in the pay of the republican machine."

America has been shamed with the massacres in Faluja and the Detainee Torture situation and the Iraq mess in general This Govt. and Media are trying to put a happy face on America via Ronnie the Happy Warior.
It's morning and mourning in America again. This also blocks out the upcoming scandals of Plame Outing and the Torture revalations leaking out once again. Raygoon mania is helpful to the Right Wing.

13. Amen!!
although I had to differ with the morning Pacifica host who talked about how we've been 'forced" to watch this nonstop lovefest all week.

It's very simple, really. I have not watched one SECOND of news since it began. Just step away from the TV. . .

14. Take Heart
According to the Old Farmers' Almanac, this is an excellent day to plant old farts.
