Cut the maudlin Reagan coverage! Put on "Russian leader" dirge music

[DemoTex]

Long on strings and minor chords. Eastern European funereal music. Do faded pastoral settings for the video, if you must have sight with your sound. But, for Christ's sake, stop the maudlin coverage. And someone, now!, give Peggy Noonan a "sedative."

1. I was just thinking...

That they would play that same music that was played at the Kennedy funeral. Adagio for Strings by Sam Barber.

Really sad piece.

[DemoTex]

5. Well, you always know in Russia when a bigwig has croaked.

It is not announced. But the state radio breaks into normal programming with dirge music. More minor and heavier the dirge, the bigger the croaked bigwig.

On that note, Reagan at least deserves Zuk's Dirge to his father-in-law, Dvorak. That was a dirge! Play that one for RR. Since I've heard it before, I'll sit it out this round.

2. Dude, mute the TV and throw on some James Brown

Trust me, you ain't lived until you've seen Ronnie at the Brandenburg Gate with "Sex Machine" blasting in the background.

3. I'd prefer something a bit more uplifting

Here's an old Ewok folk song they are known to sing at times like this:

Yub nub
eee chop yub nub
ah toe meet toe pee-chee keene
g'noop dock fling oh ah
Yah wah
eee chop yah wah
ah toe meet toe pee-chee keene
g'noop dock fling oh ah
Coatee chah tu yub nub
coatee chah tu yahwah
coatee chah tu glowah
allay loo ta nuv
Glowah
eee chop glowah
ya glowah pee chu nee foam
ah toot dee awe goon daa
Coatee cha tu goo (Yub nub!)
coatee cha tu doo (Yahwah!)
coatee cha tu too (Ya chaa!)
allay loo ta nuv
allay loo ta nuv
allay loo ta nuv
Glowah
eee chop glowah
ya glowah pee chu nee foam
ah toot dee awe goon daa
Allay loo ta nuv

4. I expect to see children carrying his picture to school tomorrow.

Amen on a snoozer for the Nooner.

edit: if there was school tomorrow....oh I'm so grief stricken I can't think straight. :P

[DemoTex]

6. With any luck at all, schools out.

The rich kids are already showing up at camp. More on that later.

7. damn....caught myself too late but edit explains.

8. Don't worry

They will be catatonic at BJU (Bob Jones) in my new official residence of Greenville, SC. Far as the BoJo's are concerned (and I actually have relatives there!), I am Satan. Imagine. Mac/DemoTex as Satan. Only the religiously insane.

9. In Russia, they'd still be saying: Mr. Reagan can't come out. Has cold.
