Where will be the funeral for Reagan?
Will the funeral be in LA or DC? Will he be buried in Arlington or somewhere in Southern California?

I was just wondering. Does anybody know?

1. Buried at the Ray-goon library in Simi Valley.
Two days lying in state at the Capitol. State funeral at the National Cathedral. Smaller service in California.

From ABC news.

2. Yup. Here's what my paper has to say. I live next to Simi Valley.
"Reagan's body was expected to be taken to his presidential library and museum in Simi Valley, Calif., and then flown to Washington to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda. His funeral was expected to be at the National Cathedral, an event likely to draw world leaders. The body was to be returned to California for a sunset burial at his library."

4. ABC said only ten have laid in state at the Capitol, how does he rate it.
Seriously, his admission of selling weapons to terrorists aside, what determines when a person gets the honor of being laid in state at the capitol ?

ABC said he will be only the tenth person to be so honored.

BTW this has been on at ABC's network broadcast here nonstop literally.
Why are they giving up their commercials for this person ?

5. I don't know how he rates it. But, none of us should be surprised.
BTW, as I recall, the last president to lay in state at the capitol was J.F. Kennedy.

6. He rates because the neocons contolr all three branches of gov't
The push has been on from the neocon cabal for several years to make Reagan the icon that Roosevelt was.

Watch, they are going to try to replace any FDR image in gov't with the Gipper.

This goes to their goal of complete disassembly of the FDR legacy and total denial of Democratic Party contribution to the 20th century gains made by regular Americans.

They are off to a good start.
