1. I bet God just told him, "As of right now, I am in control here."

4. God?

I think you mean Satan. No way would Haig end up in heaven.

5. I spoke to Satan just a moment ago.

He wants nothing to do with him. :)

8. Satan is more concerned about how his Yankees are going to do this year,

than to worry about Al Haig.

Focus on your upcoming draft.

2. He was an apologist for Chinese human rights violations

He was active right up to the end working to help NATO expand and his influence on our collective history will always be underestimated.

RIP, General. and we believe you when you said you never submitted the letter of resignation as Sec. of State Reagan accepted when they eased you out. Raygun was never one to let facts or details like that get in the way of doing what thee idiot wanted to do.

3. Nice line from the NY Times story on his passing.

"He was brutally candid about his own run for office and his subsequent distaste for political life. “Not being a politician, I think I can say this: The life of a politician in America is sleaze,” he told the authors of “Nixon: An Oral History.”

“I didn’t realize it until I started to run for office,” he said. “But there is hardly a straight guy in the business. As Nixon always said to me — and he took great pride in it — ‘Al, I never took a dollar. I had somebody else do it.’ ”"
