Today's News

I realize a lot of people were sick of hearing about Reagan...

But I just wanted to say, all of the tributes, the 21 gun salutes, the images of Nancy Reagan mourning her dead husband in such elegance, the images of old rivals (Thatcher and Gorb) coming together to celebrate one man...really touched a nerve with me...especially that last image of Nancy over her husbands casket, weeping...followed by her children coming to hug her

Regardless if you are a Democrat, a Republican, a liberal, a conservative, pro-Reagan, anti-Reagan, pro-anything, anti-anything...I think today's events summarize what an absolutely great country America is...that we can come together, unify as a nation, to mourn a man collectively, that not all of us may have agreed with...and more poignantly what, at times, a great world we live in, that one man could bring forth such a multitude of tributes and bring together so many people

Well those are my thoughts on today's news coverage of the funeral...yours?

Walked around the house humming California Uber Alles...

So yeah I guess total disinterest in it all...*shrug*

Didn't watch. Watched a DVD, Highlander the Series (best.series.ever!) and then PTI!

I thought it was phony and staged. Reagan himself was probably the worst actor at the entire funeral. How anyone can call Reagan anything other than a racist, evil, pork-barrel windbag without bursting out laughing is probably deserving of an oscar. Fitting that the Reagan family pastor is an old school south african though.

I wish someone would put you out of your misery. No really your life must really suck to be so angry all the time. Daddy touch the naughties a little to much?

Kyoukan, you are a very sad human being

Arilain · Post by **Arilain** » June 12, 2004, 9:52 am

I was moved. Every death is mourned and brings people together. To see the emotions of the people that broke down and seeing how they remembered Reagan really touched me to be honest. Love the man or hate him he brought common people together and if you do not believe me look at the crowds that lined the streets of D.C. and the presidential library in California. Those crowds were bigger than the ones I have seen during Mardi Gras.

It is only those without grace, common decency, tact, respect, honor, morals and compasion; that would make a mockery and condem a man in a vile manner at the time of mourning his death. I hope one day that you all realise the hatred shown by the far left and far right is only tearing this country apart. Don't wait on a super politicain to mend the tear; it all starts with the individual.

Very well said Ari. You should be writing speeches professionally.

I never paid it any attention. Nacy has probably had to do the "hug the casket" thing about 5-6 times by now. I'm sure she'll be happy when all the hoopla is over. I know I will.

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » June 12, 2004, 2:14 pm

i think if they had it to do over again they'd take that publicity hound priest out of the ceremony.

that guy was begging to be hooked off of the stage....MAKE THE PAIN STOP!

i thought earlier in the day the eulogies of Thatcher and Bush, Sr. were pretty great speeches.

like him or not, he was a huge figure, and his life and death effected many people. i thought they did what was appropriate more or less considering the circumstances. Most o fthe public was captivated, so they obviously didn't drag it out too long. i'd say those that thought so were in the minority - even if they were right.

But the pastor himself, he was not up to the standards that were set by the rest of the proceedings.

I thought what was really cool was that earlier in the day, i saw on TV a Ray CHarles performance at Reagan's 2nd presidential innauguration of "America the Beautiful". it was prety terrific, and hilarious cause at the end, a bunch of celebrities come up to help him sing the chorus. Notables:

Frank Sinatra, Liz Taylor, WEBSTER! and Mr. T!!!!

being molested by my father is a valid reason for disliking reagan in whatever reality you live in? or are you just still unable to make a comment directed to me without introducing some form of sexual assault?

a rare moment i agree with Fesuni! im actually shocked you feel that way.
Very well said!

Hey..even people you disagree with are guilty of having feelings

You've known me for a long time now Taly, you shouldn't be that surprised

i guess its just rare that you show them (this was not to sound mean).

Good morning, the worm, your honour,
The crown will plainly show,
The prisoner who now stands before you,
Was caught red-handed showing feelings.
Showing feelings of an almost human nature.
This will not do.

Yeah, because all of our presidents deserve funerals that mirror Joseph Stalins. The guy was an evil man and put the fucking fundies in control of the country, which is why all you neocons are weeping tears like he had been nailed to a stick of wood by the fucking romans.

Hey Jice, you really need to have someone take a look at that chip on your shoulder it has to be hurting you.

Kelshara · Post by **Kelshara** » June 14, 2004, 1:23 pm

I'm not a huge fan of big public funerals like this which is why I did not watch. I know that I would never want it for myself or to be part of one if it was my family, I know he was a President at an important time historically but.. I feel bad for his family for having everything publicized like that.

I prefere to mourn privately, and to honor my dead privately.

Honor your Dead Privates?

Oh my bad you said honor you dead privately.

Atokal · Post by **Atokal** » June 14, 2004, 2:03 pm

Jice and Kyoukan once again there is no surprise here. Everything Reagan did was evil, self serving, and of racist origin. Typical response of the deluded.

I laugh periodically when I think of Kyoukan waking up in the morning and looking in the mirror and hating the color of her skin.

Fesuni Chopsui · Post by **Fesuni Chopsui** » June 14, 2004, 2:28 pm

Is that some kind of sick racist joke?

Kylere · Post by **Kylere** » June 14, 2004, 2:30 pm

You think that Atokal thinking Kyoukan hating her skin is a racist joke?

Kyoukan hates white people, and it is okay, because she is white? Now that is a joke.

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » June 14, 2004, 5:19 pm

actually, I'm indifferent to the color of my skin. I'm more just ashamed of having to share it with some other people in society.

Marbus · Post by **Marbus** » June 14, 2004, 5:26 pm

Didn't get to watch it, had other more important things that day. I'm sure it was very moving. Reagan did some really good things and as some want to point out some not so good. Eventually History will remember both but for now I'm all about honoring a fallen president... abet I think we did go a little overboard. But hey, it took some heat off the conflit in Iraq for a week or so

Fesuni good post....I know you dislike Reagan, but you were able to put it aside for what was happening and have respect for your fellow Americans and fallen President and see and pay attention to the historical event without pure hatred in all ways as some others....and have some respect for the event...Im glad you are a fellow American with common decency even though we may disagree abit

I highly doubt that Kyoukan has a good side, not that I think she eats babies, but there is no way she can be pleasant to be around.

That's not always true...in my opinion

Kyou and I have never gotten along - but recently in a few IRC convos I've had with her, she's really been nothing but nice without having to be
