It is my sad duty to report the first death due to Post Election Selection Trauma:

He had strong political opinions and followed Amy Goodman's radio broadcast "Democracy Now." Alas the stolen election of 2000 and living with right-winged Americans finally brought him to his early demise. Stress from living in this unjust country brought about several heart attacks rendering him disabled.

You couldn't make this stuff up.

Shockingly, it didn't occur at ground zero for this affliction (my current residence of Boca Raton), but in Tucson. I'm sure that this is just the first death of many, in what is certain to be a sweeping slaughter and national tragedy, all part of Karl Rove's plan.

Oh... the humanity. New York Times couldn't have written it any better.... :P

At least he kept his turtle happy! :..)

I blame Halliburton... I guess I'll buy more of their stock.

It's so very wrong to make fun to the departed. Still .. c'mon! The writer of this eulogy is making it far too easy.

Hmm, I lived in Tucson in the late 1980s. It was a liberal town then and I've heard nothing to indicate it isn't still a liberal town.

I can't decide if this was done tongue in cheek or if this family was so self absorbed that they were blind to the silliness of it.

BTW, I just discovered you blog through Meryl Yourish's blog. I really enjoy this.

What's that? Nixon won?????
I think I'm having chest pains.

This is from my wife:
That just shows you shouldn't vote for democrats. They can't handle the pressure...
