All federal offices are closed todayin the US.

Is that normal for the day of a president's funeral? Or is it a stunt
by Stumpie to a) to make it look like he respected Bush, b) to make it
look like he respects anyone, c) to try to set a precedent for when he
dies, may the day come soon?

I don't remember this being done for any of the other presidents who
have died, and there have been quite a few in the last 35 years, for
example.
