This Is Almost Obscene

So people are getting upset because the guy's getting too many funerals? He was a freakin president for chrissakes.

Hey, Bipolar Bear, I like that full cadaver thing. I'd donate mine, but nobody would want it.

I'm having a wake though, and everyone gets a tshirt and a video that I will make right before I die, providing I'm not killed in an accident. I wanted to be taken to the taxidermist, but its against the law. Pussies.

Good idea. I'd like to be mounted and stuffed and used for a pull-toy.

I wanted to be stuffed standing up with a hard on so people could hang their coats... and one hat.

It seems the Ford funeral was almost exactly like the Reagan one.

A brief service on June 7th in CA. Public viewing following
The body was flown to DC for 2 days of viewing with a state funeral
The body was then flown to the presidential library for another service and internment.

Maybe so, but Reagan dismantled the Soviet Union, ended the Cold War and brought us a new era of unachieved prosperity and peace.

AND he had the courtesy of kicking out BEFORE Ray Charles died.

The country DOES need ceremonies, mythologies, symbols, etc. The country (nation-state) is itself a symbolic contrivance which feeds off of ceremony and ritual. And I agree the JFK's funeral was almost therapeudically necessary. But all this stuff for Ford has gone too far. First of all, it certainly isn't for him (or even Betty); he isn't aware of it. Funerals are for the living, not the dead. This one has been mainly for the Republican party. Hearing Bush go on and on about "character" is an emetic.

Gerald Ford planned his funeral, as do all presidents. For the republican party? then why did Jimmy carter speak at the ritual today? Why did Ford ask Tom Brokaw to speak at one of the funerals in DC?

I don't watch much television and I'm a Luddite about electronic gadgets, but I understand every television set comes with an "OFF" button.

That isn't the point, the point is, Ford hung around too long & in too many places after he died.
