I've reached that point in life where I read the obituaries on a regular basis. I saw one last week that included the following gem (I'm paraphrasing): "Having survived a world war, an aneurysm, cancer, major surgery, and the Obama administration, Joe was called home to God last Thursday." My reaction was 1) Really?!? 2) Technically, no, old Joe didn't survive the Obama administration 3) What if I wrote my own obit in this style ("Born into the Eisenhower administration, she didn't like Ike, or the worse Republican presidents to follow.")?
It's the funereal version of the selfie. Look at me, my political opinions still matter! No, you're dead. For myself, I would like something more inspirational for my obit, than to diss the President one last time.
