2. "Next week on 'Reagan's Funeral'..."
"Michael finally ends his speech. Meanwhile, everyone becomes distracted by the stench of Ronnie's rotting corpse. Nancy has her glasses replaced at a LensCrafters in Thousand Oaks. And Ron and Patti go home."

7. Hahahaha! Good history joke. Interesting aside...
It was an open casket until Lincoln's corpse literally started turning BLACK.

16. Reagan had a LONG slide downward ...

He was likely a withered prune at the end. That's probably not a good image for photographs.

Those guys with heart disease from smoking leave better looking corpses that are WORTH turning into Disney exhibits.

10. Did you catch Ron Jr.'s political slam of Dubya
in his eulogy, he said is father was religious, but never wore his religion on his sleeve to gain political favor. That even after he was shot, he believed God saved him to do good things, but he never saw his life or his presidency as a Mandate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have waited all week for this..........

12. Seems like the networks want it to be a mini-series, but
who's watching. I thought I would find refuge from Reagan and local relevance in the weather channel, but I'm not in DC and that still proved wrong. Last night I had to turn off the whole she-bang after that.

I just don't understand the fuss. This was a bad apple way before he went vegetable.

In that spirit I think that "freedom-fries" should now be called "Reagan-fries." Please, don't touch or deface my money.

15. Having run out of funeral footage...
my local station is now playing old Reagan movies as a part of
"the on-going tribute to President Ronald Reagan".

Are these people nuts?
