Ya think?

CNN is asking the poll question whether Reagan death coverage was:


    * Too little (3% right now)
    * Too much (64%)
    * Just right (33%)
I suspect tomorrow and Sunday we'll see highlights of the funeral then on Monday, we'll start asking what his death really means.

On a sad but ironic note, NBC news tonight, after spending a good portion of the broadcast on Reagan, decided to play catchup with the names of all the soldiers who had died in the week since we were thrown into this paroxysm of grief over a man few of us have seen in a decade. There were enough names that it took a bit to cover. Compared to the 23 hours a day each day of Reagan coverage, each soldier got not even 23 seconds.
