Functional Ambivalent lets us know that we all (as citizens) spent '$400 Million Friday and Didn't Even Know It.' That is the cost of the Reagan funeral. I agree that the man deserves a nice state funeral, he was President of the United States, after all. But $400 million! Shutting down the federal government? A week long event? I think this was a bit much. That is a lot of money. Money that could have fed a lot of hungry children...
Two more things regarding the Reagan funeral: In the midst of it all, I only heard thirty seconds about Ray Charles dying. And OMG - that National Cathedral! It is beautiful, but the idea of the 'National Cathedral'...Once again we see evidence of our national religion without it being directly stated.
