17. That was my thought... |

He only appears to be dead. Might just be resting.

3. Is that like Fransico Franco? |
|
Years ago on SNL, Chevy Chase would usually open the weekend up date with "Generalissmo Franco is still dead

5. I disagree with the guy vehemently, but at least he was interesting |
|
to listen to, and had an excellent command of the English language.
RIP

8. Does that mean he won't be voting in November? |
|
If so, good. One less voter for the GOP candidate.

The idle wealthy are better off for his efforts. The powerless and poor (the other 97%) are not.
What else can be said?

Once I was a soldier And I fought on foreign sands for you Once I was a hunter And I brought home fresh meat for you Once I was a lover And I searched behind your eyes for you And soon there'll be another To tell you I was just a lie
(chorus) And sometimes I wonder Just for a while Will you remember me
And though you have forgotten All of our rubbish dreams I find myself searching Through the ashes of our ruins For the days when we smiled And the hours that ran wild With the magic of our eyes And the silence of our words

19. He was one of the few honest conservatives |
|
He was WRONG, but he was honest.
I remember back in the 70s, he took a boat out behind the 3 mile limit and toked up. He then wrote a column about how the continued illegality of marijuana was a total farce.
In other words, he did call them as he saw them.
