where is the "official day of mourning"?
Shouldn't this disaster at least be afforded that recognition? I don't get it.

3. Well, the flag is flying at half mast and he is lying in state, funeral on
Friday. I'm sure Bush will let us know what day will be the official day of mourning for Rehnquist's death.

I'm sure that is what you meant, right?

That seems to be the only loss the Federal Government is acknowledging.

4. Good question
I'm going to contact Senators Harkin and Grassley as well as Representative Nussle about that. Others should contact their Senators and Representatives as well.

6. is it me, or ....
does it seem like alot of government official simply dont give a crap? I have seen very little emotion, very little concern, from our higher elected officials. And no official day of mourning being set yet is disturbing as all heck to me.

5. You're assuming that the Bush Administration actually cares.
As we and many thousands of dead Americans know, they don't. They really, really, really, really, really, really DON'T CARE!!!
