All you zombies show your faces

This is a disrespectful post. However. I am of the opinion that, whether a president have a legacy as formidable and devastating as Reagan or as mediocre and noncomittal as Ford, the only reason for an hour long "Special Report" on a funereal procession should be if the president in question rose up from the dead and is currently biting the Secretary of State, spreading the terrible zombie virus.

In related zombie news: After about three weeks of this, I've devolved into 'unproductive cough' activity; I have nasal congestion and am ravaging the local tissue population and sneezing a lot. I'm going to the drugstore tonight to get my prescription refilled, and I figure I'll buy something OTC to try and deal with this. Should I look for a decongestant, or an expectorant, or just drink more hot tea?

Enh. I mean, I might not watch an hour-long special report on the Ford funeral, but there're a whole lot of hour-long TV slots that I'm not watching. Clearly they're of interest to some people, though, so, why not?

This is true--the sound is muted, so they may be doing an in depth analysis of his life leading up to the presidency which requires what is now a two hour stretch in order to really get up to their elbows in the subject matter, to the depth that the life of a former president deserves.
However, I still think that his legacy would be well served by turning the SoS.

Well, there's the "Never speak ill of the dead thing." But that doesn't quite apply.

It might have something to do with my idle speculation today regarding our current Prez. No matter incompetant, boring, stupid, nutso you are getting to be President is a pretty extraordinary feat.

Or we're doing the Equal Time thingy, cause it took what, a month, to bury Reagan.

Fun Fact: Don Rumsfeld was both the oldest and youngest Secretary of Defense. But not in that order.

I'd bet that this has nothing to do with the current state of the State; this is probably fairly standard for the death of the head of state.

I actually laughed coffee out my nose when I read this, and then had to tell my boyfriend. :-)

PS-I finally really did mail you that DVD.

For coffee out the nose, I am willing to be a little disrespectful.
(Boyfriend? I had no idea!)
