RIP John McCain. I didn't agree with him on a lot of issues, but I never questioned his patriotism nor his integrity. Qualities sadly lacking in today's clusterfuck.

^ Perfectly said. Godspeed John McCain. 

RIP Mr. McCain.

RIP McCain. One less good man in Washington, now.

RIP Senator McCain....agreed with sentiments above.....

Agree with above. RIP Senator McCain.

 

Sadly, without John around, Lindsey Graham seems to be fully willing to swallow every bit of Orange penis wagged in front of his face.

Wow.  Time marches on ruthlessly...

Ed King...Godspeed, sir.  Just watched a great documentary on the band that included interviews with Ed.  Playing on Showtime if memory serves me.  Worth a watch if you are so inclined.

RIP, Senator McCain.  You carved your own path and seemed to always be true to yourself.  This political environment could use more like you...

And to Neil Simon... RIP. You have made me laugh for as long as I can remember.

RIP Neil Simon.....indeed, one of the greats of comedy writing.....

RIP John McCain

 

RIP Claire Wineland...  (@21yo)

Claire Wineland, who inspired millions on YouTube chronicling her cystic fibrosis battle, dies after lung transplant

RIP Claire....such a beautiful woman with an incredible message.

One of our family friends has two kids with CF, and some great strides have been made, with one type of CF potentially having a cure!  Unfortunately, our friends' kids have a different type.  But they are both coping, with meds, exercise, diet changes, etc.  Yet they still face many of the same challenges this young lady faced.  They are both in college and doing as well as possible.

Wishing all the best to her family, friends, and all those impacted by CF in some way or another.

 

Yes, RIP Claire! I just read more about her this morning and it brought me to tears. She must have been a lovely person!

RIP Claire

I used to work with a number of CF individuals and it is a poorly understood and often overlooked condition.

RIP Burt Reynolds. 

RIP, Burt. He sure made some amazing movies.

Descansa en paz Burt

RIP 'Hooper' and 'The Bandit'. You entertained me growing up.. 

RIP Burt.....

RIP Burt.

Man, RIP Burt.

I remember so vividly the late '70s kids' birthday parties where the Dad would rent a projector and pin a sheet to the wall and you knew you were going to get either "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Every Which Way but Loose."

Either way the film would always break in the middle and there'd be a lot of cursing and rethreading while we all rioted around high on cake and Fanta Grape. Good times.

RIP Burt. Somehow it seems those films were so recent, Stretch.

 

That was totally priceless  thanks Stretch!
