I think of Teddy Kennedy, there to welcome them with open arms. McCain and Kennedy: the two Lions of the Senate. Always ready to work together for America. Even if they agreed to disagree.

the only obit that matters
they were playing this stultifyingly smug excerpt from his recent book, read by him, earlier on BBC WS. He was talking about how exceptional the US is + there is great equality for all there + threatening to return as a ghost so he could smell the elderberries on his huge estate or something like that. Total fucking pumper.

small thing in grand scheme of things but this ticked me off hearing about it after I moved to AZ:He was against limiting number of helicopter tours in Grand Canyon, with the argument that it's the only way for some disabled veterans to see it and we'd be denying that privilege to our wounded warriors blah blah. The proposal would still have allowed for like 4500 flights per year. Teeniest bit of research showed that 90% of the tours were bought by wealthy foreigners. Turns out McCain had gotten campaign contributions from the heli tour operators.

oh MAN. I should poll these pearls:
- Leadership: What is he?
- Ronald Reagan. 1984. Speaking: āIf we ever forget that weāre one nation under God,ā he said, his deep brown eyes flashing leadershiply
- One day in the Senate mess hall, McCain sat down at my table, where I was dining alone on a salad of watercress. āWhat do a woman and a fire hydrant have in common?ā he asked me, his eyes asparkle with magic. Before he had the chance to answer, an aide interrupted him, and he rushed off. On Saturday, that terrible eve, when I heard that John McCain had passed away at last, I thought back to this riddle. It shall remain an unsolved mystery. Like our Constitution, it will be studied by future generationsāits subtleties, perhaps, teased out one day by those who today are just children. In class, they sit. Perhaps in Iowa. Perhaps in fields of grain.
- He paused, and took a sip of what I imagined at the time was absinthe, but which may in retrospect have been water.
- With a final winkāand a smileāhe was gone, trailing what seemed to be be sparkles.
- And I turned up the volume just in time to hear him say, āI vote yes to confirm Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court of the United States of America.ā Iāll be damned if he wasnāt winking.

While the leadershiply will attract the most laughter, one must stop and marvel at the concatenation of Speaking:, followed by quotation marks and he said, just in case we didn't get the idea.
