The two songs that I listened when I heard the news. RIP Mr. Sondheim

My daughter called me upset saying Virgil died and I'm like who? Then she said he designed both Serena's and Elina's wedding attire.
May he Rest in Peace.

Oh sorry—I came in here and posted about Virgil Abloh before I noticed several people already did so I edited my comment to reflect my spilling of old tea

Re: In Memoriam
One of the last respectable Republicans. At a time in which they could be counted to have SOME morals on what they were doing.
(And mind you, I do not speak highly of Republicans, as you know. I believe that Ronald Reagan was a terrible US President FOR THE WORLD, for example).
May Dole RIP.

Re: In Memoriam
There was a time--long, LONG ago--when I was actually receptive to the idea of an Elizabeth Dole presidency. I always preferred her over Bob. That said, yes, all things considered, Bob Dole was a decent man.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 9:10 pm One of the last respectable Republicans.

Re: In Memoriam
Dole kept his sleaze to a minimum, the way it was done back in the day. Publicly his positions were mainstream and acceptable and he didn't think political discourse consisted of insults and doxxing. Looking at what now passes for the GOP I think the word decent is applicable.
