So I'm listening to Morning Sedition and they are talking about
the coronation.

They are discussing how all the marching bands, color guards, etc. are going to be taken to grounds near the Pentagon first to be searched, then to holding pens near the parade route where they are not allowed to leave except to go to the porta potties and under guard. They also have been told that when they pass the president they are not to look at him and not to make any sudden movements.

So, I guess that leaves out all forms of saluting while marching, as the traditional way of saluting is for flags to be moved suddenly from an upright position to being held straight ahead, it also normally involved the outer column closest to the "honoree" to salute and all other columns to turn their heads and look in that direction.

LOL . . . don't loot at him or your eyes will be burned from your skull . .

1. Like the Arc of The Covenant
"Don't look at the President. No matter what happens, no matter what you hear, keep your eyes closed."

a reflection. What a joyous occasion!

2. I think he is desperately fearful...
Didn't a balloon or something pop during the Republican Convention? He looked like he was going to wet his pants.

5. Only Moses went punim v punim (face to face) with
the Holy one Blessed be he....

How dare we mere MORTALS think we are worthy of beholding the representative of the Almighty?

Look and you will turn into a pillar of salt....your choice.

6. Its for their own good
If they look him in the eyes the ensueing vomit that would inevitably spew from each of them would leave Pennslyvania Avenue devastated and DC with an even bigger clean up bill.

Do you get the impression that they know that Bush's second election was as phony as the first?

And does he really have to ask your permission before getting a divorce?
How many Xstians do you know who are divorced? And what's wrong with therapy? LOL.
