If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

No longer under consideration as Kamala's running mate.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

I don't like to see cancer get anyone. I will simply follow the old adage here.

She'll be, uh, "hard to replace".

Last clip I saw of her, she did not look good.

All cancer sucks.  Pancreatic cancer sucks more.  Watched my grandmother and mother both whither away from that crap.    And, I say whither away because, for both of them, it killed all desire to eat anything.  So they literally whithered away.  Grandmother lasted about 9 months.  Mom got about 16 months.  Both were pretty miserable from the surgery (Whipple procedure) until the end.

So, I don't care about her politics.  She didn't deserve that.
