Goodbye Mr. Reagan

The Federal Government and the Post Office is closed today for Mr. Reagan’s funeral. Presumably that means that enormous numbers of public employees get a paid day off.

How do you think Mr. Reagan would feel knowing those legions were taking a vacation on the public dime?

Some legacy.

    From what I understand, it happens any time a former President dies (ie, Tricky Dick Nixon). It was wierd, I was hanging in DC with some Patent Office employees, and one of their first reactions was wondering which day this week they would get off…

    Not surprising, just a little disappointing.

    I do like a little pomp and ceremony every now and again though.
