I can't help but think

We turned on the television for our evening Simpsons to go with dinner, but every channel is full of the riderless horse and the flag draped casket on its slow journey to the rotunda.

I supposed I should be more moved by this. After all, the man was the president of my country for the first eight years of my life.

I can't help but think there would not be room enough in that rotunda for all the caskets of those who died of AIDS in the 1980s. Nor for all the other caskets, the victims of the crimes of Reagan's administration.

Right. I'm sure it was very awful for Nancy Reagan to lose her husband so slowly and over such a long period of time. I feel bad for them, but god help me I don't feel bad for Reagan.
