I remember sometime back a thread about what should be done when she
did eventually go, and the best suggestion was just to leave her where she dropped. And as to the people publicly calling for respect to be shown, how many of them a few weeks ago cheered the death of Hugo Chavez, I wonder?
I know what you mean about flinching at celebrating the death of a sick old woman, Mr. H; plenty of liberal Americans felt the same reluctance when Reagan finally shuffled off, and we'll see what kind of condition Brian Mulroney, our Canadian contemporary and fellow ideologue of those two, is in when it's his turn. But I'm sure my squeamishness will fade when I remember just how much he fucked us while in power, and it's guaranteed I'll feel that way again when our current PM kicks the bucket (but seeing as he's a robot, he won't die as such; his motherboard will just burn out).
