He really did have a good, long run.  At 112 he might have even been the oldest living American.  Rest in Peace, Mr. Brooks.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
