I'd wouldn't mind seeing National Review go along with its founder. NR today is no different from any other neoconservative rag.

So, no matter what, we all die, and my bet is he did not take anything with him when he left.
Was all of the prostitution to his masters worth it? Is he 'money ahead' RIGHT NOW?
So too will end the carrers of Bush, Cheney and all the rest. They spent their lives follishly, lived in fear and tension, and gained nothing. Perhaps they will learn that it would have been better had they never been born.

A most astute set of observations. However, I suspect they had no choice upon their birth. The rest lies like a dark and heavy weight upon their spirit. I would not care to be any of them. A life of evil is ultimately a life of wretchedness.

That is a line that is worthy of becoming a forever tag line. It is an ultimate Truth.
