    ¿Cuba libre finalmente?

    Bad guy in many ways, but also replaced a bad guy. And in contrast to how they felt about the previous guy, a plurality of Cubans apparently didn't think Castro was bad enough to throw out.

    One more notch on Obama's belt: Castro didn't outlast him.

    I'm waiting for The Donald to begin tweeting that he's responsible for Castro's death.

    Damn grim reaper must work for Fox and killed off book for real.
    Today we sail
    On the Solar Rail
    For there's much we just don't know
    So farewell with a kiss
    Then it's fast for the mist
    Till we're sleeping in the cold below

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

    That seriously sucks.

    Why do we keep losing people that are truly nice to everyone?

    I vote for 2017 to be "the year the asshats die off en masse".

    I was thinking 2013 wasn't too bad for deaths because we lost a handful of actual nazi war criminals (including hitler's bodyguard) and the cast-iron bitchlady herself, but then I discovered we also lost James Gandolfini, Lou Reed, Nelson Mandela, Peter O'Toole, and Tom Clancy that year.

    It seems like every year we lose more people that I like than people I don't.

    Weaksauce.

    This does seem to be a particularly bad year.

    But in my experience, assholes seem to always live past their expiration date

    Yeah, that's really annoying.

    Next thing you know, we lose Mandy Patinkin or John Doman or some other quality character actor.

    I've always said I wanted to live as long as I could to see how far technology can go, but it's really disheartening losing so many great influences from my youth.

    Seeing the ass end of Maggie Thatcher was a very cheerful thing !
    As Frankie Boyle said, instead of wasting millions on state funeral for this bitch, they could have bought everyone in Scotland a spade, and we'd have all dug down and handed the bitch to her master in person

    I mentioned 2013 deaths. She was among the ones that DIDN'T make me sad and I mentioned her specifically.

    "Cast-iron bitchlady" didn't register.

    Creator Of McDonald's Big Mac Dies At 98

    An obituary put out by his family notes that Delligatti was a true innovator in the fast-food industry, instrumental in introducing breakfast at McDonald's, making the hotcakes and sausage meals for hungry millworkers on their way home from overnight shifts in the steel mills.

    Delligatti co-founded Pittsburgh's Ronald McDonald House and supported many other charities in Western Pennsylvania. He also served in the Army in World War II.

    "Jim was a legendary franchisee within McDonald's system who made a lasting impression on our brand," reads a statement from McDonald's corporate headquarters. "He is an exemplary individual who embraced the community and championed many causes and organizations that benefitted children. We will remember Jim as an insightful franchisee, a knowledgeable businessman, and an honorable gentleman."

    This was my EXACT first thought.

    And yes on the cuisine thing, but that's probably not going to win him any post-death prizes. Not comme il faut.
