I thought I’d missed some breaking news.

I know his family will miss him when he finally passes away, but I won’t.

I miss him every single day and it has been decades since he passed. To me was my dad, not a member of a political party. I loved him so much.

I guess I mean that it will be hard for them, but the mind has a way to get you functional while still having wonderful memories and missing the heck out of them.

You never stop missing them, but it’s especially difficult when you are so young, like you were.

With time, your parent draws closer to you in spirit and in your mind and you can remember them with less sadness and more happy memories, but, for children, the grief is always there.

Older than Biden.

He's always seemed like a crotchety senior citizen, even when he was in his 40s.

For a brief moment my surly mood lightened.

Back to being pissed off.

So many good people have died and then he lives on with a mechanical heart. It just isn't right!!

He's a zombie at this point,no pulse since a machine heart keeping him alive.

Wish they'd withdraw his insurance then he would die. How many of us could get the care he gets?

Keeping that malignant creep alive is a waste of insurance money.

Let him die already!!

I’ve killed several celebrities by asking my wife, “You mean they’re not dead yet?”

There used to be a blog called “Is Dick Cheney dead yet?” It was intended to be a place where you could go and see if Dick Cheney was dead yet, but they eventually got tired of running it and have moved on to other things.

There aren't a whole lot of "Wait, what did I miss?" subjects that bring a smile, and you went and turned it upside-down.
