* I have a lot of complicated feelings about John McCain that I don' want to get in to today. I AM glad he never was President; I don't hate him like I did, say, Margaret Thatcher or Ronald Reagan; I'm sorry he died when he did for a host of reasons. The CNN obit seems better balanced than most of the things I'm seeing, though not as balanced as I'd like. He had a long, complicated legacy that is hard to reflect in the sort of bite sized thing one gets after a person died, and I'm too tired to Keep looking for something that better expresses where I am on this.
