Why can’t it ever be an ancient, hate-spewing politician or pundit? Always gotta be the actors, artists, authors, musicians, scientists, anyone who actually made a positive memorable contribution to society. Meanwhile the virtually-fossilized assholes with the destructive, selfish, outright evil influences seem to live eternally.

Uh-oh…

On a related topic: To be perfectly clear, I do not want this to happen anytime soon, but when it does happen, I do hope that Keith Richards donates his body to science. There must be something special in his genetic setup that makes him nearly indestructible.

With both Scalia and Schlafly having died this year, I believe the previous sarcastic comment was that this was just the scales of Good and Evil (or Creation and Destruction) balancing back out.

Where is that picture from / who painted it? Looks like artwork / an artist I’ll like to get to know.

Dick Cheney is going to die comfortably with the best care in America surrounded by loved ones which is far more than any Iraqi who had the misfortune to meet any of the security companies he unleashed on the country.

I thought that I’d say this in case you believed for a few seconds that there was a good and just God-being watching us.

At this point I’m wondering if the ball dropping on New Years Eve will actually be a super weapon that will kill us all in a white blast overlaid with “The End”.

Not that this is supported by any reporting I’ve yet seen, but cocaine is a hell of a drug. Even decades later.

I read Kelly Carlin’s book earlier this year (George Carlin’s daughter); for about the last 20 years of his life, George’s heart was held together basically with duct tape and baling wire.

That thought occurred to me yesterday. We may be seeing cocaine’s revenge with a fair number of these celebrity deaths.

2016 still have a few days left. But I doubt it will come through.

With McConnell’s successful cheat to preserve Scalia’s seat as “The Once-and-Future Scalia Seat”, we can be assured that Nino’s lichform corpse has formed a tight rictus that might otherwise be described as a grin.

It was sent to me by an x girlfriend some time ago.

PS. It was good to hear from her just the same.
