Last night, on the way home from the DC United game - the most comprehensive beatdown I have the misfortune to recall witnessing - we passed Rosa Parks's funerary motorcade heading south. It was an impressive procession, with at least a dozen motorcycle cops, a dozen police cars, numerous SUVs, and three passenger buses accompanying the hearse.
The Economist had a nice obituary for Mrs Parks.

WOW - Something about witnessing a point in history is just fasinating to me; sad to say even if it was funeral procession. An errie wave passed at the thought of thinking, "I was there the day they laid Rosa Parks to rest..."
Interesting: My word verification was: TV BBC
