  1. I felt the same about Thatcher (I’m British so it wasn’t as random as otherwise) and the thing is that she didn’t have a nice remaining family that I knew of that I could feel bad for. Did she have nice grandkids? Maybe. But all I know of were her son and daughter & I didn’t feel sorry for them cos they’re not nice either.

    I wonder if the same is true of Trump or whether Baron will grow up into a nice lad who isn’t conceited and we can feel sorry for him after Trump dies.

  2. Love the “live every moment” bc life is a miracle even if it’s cosmic chance. We are cognitive, conscientious, beings capable of love and so many other things. Thanks for the reminder guys. Happy WkND to the team.

  4. I am struck by the brutally true comments by Cenk in the first hour and Ana and Cenk in the Post Game, about Roger Ailes’s legacy after his death… I am the same age as Dick Cheney (the second most dangerous and evil man to Roger Aires of our times); and I hope to live long enough to hear your similar comments after Cheney’s death… If I don’t survive to then, “THANKS” in advance…

  5. These sum up my thoughts on the death of Ailes. He ailes no more~! His next incarnation~? Over to you.

    We’re all killers at heart . . . . I have never taken anybody’s life, but I have often read obituary notices with considerable satisfaction.

    The first thing you should do when you get up is read the obituaries. You never know when you’ll see a name that will just make your day.

  7. There are people in my life, some in my own family who will figuratively dance on my grave. They will be glad I’m gone. If they’re up to the trip I invite them to do so literally. maybe even to water the grave before they leave if the mood strikes them or their bladders are weak. Why not? Why the blazes should I or anyone else sane and rational care after they’re gone? Just don’t do it front of other members of my family, friends or acquaintances; some of those lunatics might well shot you for it. :)

  10. So when I was in high school a teacher passed in the middle of the school year. He was a dick. He was not a good teacher (like we didn’t learn from him), he was very rude to students, myself and many others would actively plan our entire schedules around not taking classes from him, He dies and suddenly everyone is giving speeches about what a great teacher he was and stuff and I remember another teacher noticing I was bothered and I said “I am not happy he’s dead but he wasn’t a good teacher” and she told me “You are right. You don’t have to change your mind about someone just because they died”. That was the first time that clicked for me and it’s never passed.

    Ailes was terrible. He left man scars on our country and many scars on women that he victimized. I can’t imagine having to go through harassment, then reading tweets about what a hero that person was.

    If he lived a good life maybe people wouldn’t have to scold so many others about not speaking ill of him…

    1. Megan E. Pearson, great story, good post. Once, I was in an Irish pub (USA) the day a communist leader died. I toasted his death and danced a jig, while singing:

      Ding, dong,
      The commies dead, the commies dead.
      Ding, dong,
      The wicked commies dead.

      There are a few neo-cons and neo-liberals for whom I’ll deliver a similar eulogy when their times come. I wish no one dead, but I’ll save a toast, a dance and a song.

  12. Regarding Roger Ailes death, we once had a maintenance guy in our building who used to say, “Everybody’s a son of a bitch till he dies.”
