A brief account, very slow to load. Includes photos.

Strange and in poor taste to bring a camera to a funeral... at least I would think.
Wonder where Sobran was though.

Sobran had some sort of medical problem. His secretary who was a close friend of Sam Francis came.

Looks like some of the pictures were taken down... notably Fleming, Taylor, and Brimelow.
None of them looked particularly happy to be photographed at a funeral... and neither does Buchanan. I suspect his will come down as soon as he catches wind of it being up there.

Nice site, btw. My uncultured self doesn't know what "Little Geneva" is a reference to, but it's a soothing writing style.

You're right. His is gone too.

Over on the Chronciles blog, the "photographer" has responded. If what he says is true, I suppose it wasn't so bad.

I believe it is reasonable to apply a different standard when the funeral is for a public figure who's death is a significant event for hundreds of thousands of serious-minded, patriotic Americans, and other good people in Canada and around the world. We couldn't all attend the funeral, but its natural for those who would have gone had it been possible, to desire to experience some vicarious participation in it. As a public figure, this record will serve in some modest way to inspire the admirers of Dr. Francis, and so serve the ideas in which he believed, albeit in a small way. I feel confident that would have mattered a great deal more to him than the admittedly somewhat vulgar-seeming propriety (if that's the correect word) of permitting photographic equipment at a funeral. In short, doing so was the lesser of two evils.

Fleming's column discussing this is here, along with comments left by readers -- [url="http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/cgi-bin/hardright.cgi/Paying_Last_Respects.writeback"]http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/cgi-bin/hardright.cgi/Paying_Last_Respects.writeback[/url]
One of the comments was left by Harry Seabrook, who is the author of the Little Geneva blog, I believe. I like Fleming, but it seems like he is being a little bitchy in this particular case.

Little Geneva is now gone, at least from my browser.

[QUOTE=weisbrot]Little Geneva is now gone, at least from my browser.[/QUOTE] Mine, too. They are probably just having server or DNS troubles. I doubt it will be permanent. I'm no Calvinist, but Little Geneva and Badlands are both very good blogs.
EDIT -- Littlegeneva.com is back up now.
