Neil Simon
Playwright Neil Simon died today at age 91. He made his Broadway debut in 1961 with Come Blow Your Horn. No one would be stepping out on a limb by mentioning that the author of Barefoot in the Park, The Odd Couple, Plaza Suite, Promises, Promises, Last of the Red Hot Lovers, The Sunshine Boys etc, etc etc has bequeathed the world a treasure of culture and comedy that will long outlive the unfortunate memories of Presidents LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump. Oh, BTW, the world's media wankers are honking their horns with a bunch of front page spittle about another very forgettable politician who died yesterday at age 81. You will find Simon's obit on the back pages.

Amigo, I think you know that party affiliation is absolutely meaningless as far as I am concerned. McCain's lifetime accomplishments as a Senator hover around zero. Regarding foreign policy, he never encountered a problem on the farthest side of the globe from the USA that, in his opinion, could not be resolved by force of arms.
He was a Neanderthal intellectual who graduated from the Naval Academy at the bottom of his class and he never moved up one single notch in over half-a-century.
Such is the American political class.
plus, "friends" with Obama and the Clintons; what a Republican.
