I've written to George Bush (why does he never answer?) to suggest that the
funeral rites for Reagan have been too modest, but it's not too late to
make amends. Why not have funeral games, as at the death of Patroclus?
Where are the threnodists? Most important, where are the human sacrifices?
The immolation of half the cabinet and the Supreme Court would be more than
impressive.
Now I'm concerned that I might have put an idea in their heads that they'll
surely screw up--substituting Guantanamo detainees for the cabinet, for
starters.
We should all be wearing black armbands, or garters, maybe.
