  - It certainly makes it a lot easier than trying to figure out those who sometimes lie and sometimes tell the truth. -- nm - Qale Mar 21, 12:51
- Yeah, but arrangements for state funerals are decided by the president - eg lying in state in the Capitol, flags at half mast etc -- nm - Roger More Mar 21, 12:23 2
