58. "At last this odious man is dead ..."

Jul 2014

I posted this template for neocon eulogies/cacologies a little while back:

"At last this odious man is dead. His departure causes his survivors to rejoice, but is bound to distress the dead. They will not be long in becoming fed up with him and sending him back to us. Therefore, place a very heavy stone on his tomb so that we will not run the risk of seeing him again, even as a ghost."
