>I caught some of Bill Maher's comedy show on HBO last nite. He mentioned how people like John are so enraptured with Reagan. Lets just say he mentioned how some look at Reagan so highly, there are some sexual fantasies involved.
When Tito died, the country was officially mourning three days, and unofficially it took about a week more for lighter content to return to the media. However, the official signs of mourning were gone the fourth day - the flags were up on top mast, period.
Now when Reagan died, I had to wait a month or two to see the flags raised, and that's not just in front of gov't offices, but in front of groceries!
Some personality cult.
