And so the weekend long memorial begins...
- Body will lie in repose Thursday and Friday at library in Boston, Massachusetts
- President Obama, three former presidents to attend funeral
- Sen. Ted Kennedy's funeral will be Saturday at Boston's Mission Church
- Massachusetts service will precede burial in Arlington National Cemetery
In addition, Senator Kennedy's coffin will be paraded from Boston to Washington D.C. by horse-drawn carriage flanked by a troupe of Franciscan nuns and Haitian orphans singing Danny Boy.
The only question is...will the funeral take after Reagan or Wellstone?
Or Khomeini?

Oh man, I forgot all about the Ayatollah. That would be hilarious.

It's not a horse drawn carriage, it's a caisson

And Orifice Hatch of Utah giving a eulogy! That's like asking Judas to say a few words at the empty tomb.

Will Robert Bork will be a pallbearer?

Will the Fux News Cabal show up to anoint the grave with their precious urine?

I tell you, there's no more compelling television watching than staring at a flag draped coffin.........
