2. I assume they all will cover everything today. We will have |
|
helicopter shots from the plane to who the hell knows - maybe 3 more ceremonies. We just need to make it through today and then hopefully it will get better. That's what I keep telling myself to maintain my sanity.
It is almost over. It is almost over. repeat after me....

15. I assume you didn't see the Daily Show last night. |
|
Colbert did an hilarious piece called A Farewell to Coverage a Lookback Remembered. Colbert looks back at the nation's Reag-tastical coverage. I think we can look forward to many stories about the story. It will never be over.

That's the kind of RR story I like to watch.

5. The viewing early this week was also "private" |
|
You know, the one where Nancy put her cheek on the flag-draped coffin.
See Eric Boehlert at _Salon_.

So we can watch Reagan decompose LIVE!!!
The new Reagan channel on Cable will be devoted to this feed so you can watch the corpse dessicate and then watch the worms lick his bones 24/7...

8. Actually, I'm glad. And plan to WATCH it. |
|
By this time I am soooo incredibly overhwelmingly fed up with all the Reagan coverage that I want to make personally sure that he's dead AND safely buried before I sleep tonight. You know -- a little like you would with vampires and werewolves. Then MAYBE, in a year or two, we can stop with the freakin' wall-to-wall, 24/7 PLUS doublegood freakin' coverage -- here, there, EVERYWHERE. I can't escape it, and I am about to lose it.

18. Ronnies's casket has more moves than a swiss watch |
|
.....let's take him to each capital of each state here in the U.S. before we start flying his body to the counties that loved him.

31. They could stuff him like Trigger or .... |
|
mummify him like Evita Peron and take him out at dinner parties. Of course only after the Gipper World Tour and just in time for the big October push.

23. All been planned years in advance |
|
i saw a WSJ reporter on earlier this week who referred to it as Operation Serenade. Lenthy debate about the casket and where it would be in realtion to the Cali sunset for best picture angle. This is gonna be about as "private" as all the other PR bullshit you've been watching this week.

29. Will FAUX, C-Span, CNN and MSNBC..... |
|
keep cameras trained on the grave 24/7 like they did at the library and the rotunda? That way they can cut away every few minutes to see if he's risen from the dead and headed for a Malibu beach.

30. The wretched excess of the eighties is back |
|
No one can throw a party like Hollywood Republicans. Backed by the RNC this could go on till the election. Remember Nancys designer gowns and the outrageous costs? One can only imagine what this Republican Week costs the nation.

32. Reagan should be buried like Taur Urgas |
|
Ron Jr. should bury him like Urgit buried Taur Urgas. :evilgrin:
For folks not familiar with David Eddings' Belgariad/Malloreon books: Taur Urgas was the evil King of Cthol Murgos and was crazier than a shithouse rat. His son Urgit, who was actually a decent guy, despised him and after Taur Urgas was killed in battle, Urgit took his corpse someplace in the middle of nowhere so the evil priests couldn't find him to try and bring him back. Then he slit his throat and buried him face down in an unmarked ditch, just to make sure he was dead.
