Nixon might have been among the greatest, had he not ****ed up so
royally. He was one smart cookie. Nixon dead has a more jagged brain
wave than Dubya, who is as close to a flatliner as any many alive.


Who told you Nixon was all that?
Our own Pierre Trudeau had him beat in the 'smarts dept.'



I was "around" during most of Nixon's public life. He was
extraordinarily intelligent, but his character flaws, booze, and
emotional problems did him him.

The only part of the Reagan service I saw today was the singing of Ronan
Tynan. What a remarkable voice and style.


Indeed. A very touching ceremony filled with class and grace, as were all
the previous ceremonies. How Nancy (82 years old) stood up so well to this
mentally and physically exhausting week is beyond me.


Regarding your Nixon comment...the same could be said of Clinton, exchanging
booze with sex. He is still scrambling to *rewrite* his Presidential
legacy, as evidenced by his latest book.

Reagan passed through my home port in 1948. Seems he was on his way back to
US from Europe when a dock strike in New York forced his ship to Halifax.
He left here on the train after causing a bit of commotion. In those days
we were just isolated enough that a 'Hollywood star' in town could cause
excitement.

Why so much interest in Ms Krause's credentials?
Looking for a good shrink?

Nah, I just think it is so funny that Harry is so insecure that he has to
make up such an elaborate fantasy life.

Have to be an MD to be a shrink.

She might be a good social worker, but you do have to ask yourself, why
Harry is so embarrassed about her credentials.

Too bad you missed the trailer trash sleeping during the service.

Man, you are stupid, JoeTechnician Hall. In your ignorant brain, if
someone's eyes are closed, they are sleeping? Look behind them. Those
people had there eyes closed, too. Do you think, just maybe, because
it WAS a funeral, that they were PRAYING at that moment? Nah, I'm sure
it never entered your mind.
