Now the one we were all hoping for, but any port in a storm, eh?
From Tengrain:
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
And just like that, Blam-Blam is gone. I was expecting a fireball with a mile-deep crater for a war criminal of his stature, but nada. Out with a whimper.
If I had the talent of a Hunter S. Thompson, I would write the eulogy that this vile, villainous man deserves. Instead I’m sure the usual suspects will write the usual hagiography.
The scolds will say that speaking ill of the dead is crass, so read what we said when he was allegedly alive. That’s the best way to honor him. “The record, the Record, THE RECORD,” as Molly Ivins (blessed be her name) would say.
I wish that the Scissorheads in Valhalla were here to celebrate with us; I’m sure Xristi in particular would have something choice to say.
He was a bastard and I’m glad we all outlived him.
All the people who suffered and died in The War and who were allowed to suffer in The Katrina response. I’ve also, NOT forgotten.
