Oh my, very sad

and this, from here

Al was on the way to his father's funeral in Virginia when he suffered a sudden aortic aneurysm and underwent several surgeries in an attempt to save his life. Sadly, they did not succeed.

This is sad

Thanks to the surgeons for their efforts.

What a loss. Appreciate, folks!

Absolutely horrible and sad

I always really like Swift. I think my favorite post of his (although it's hard to choose just one) is "David Vitter Another Victim of Gay Marriage. Brilliant.

Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
