    Not a very glowing obituary. He kept the conservatives at bay, held the liberals down and cleared up some financial crimes.

    The Pope was a head of state, even though it's only tiny Vatican city, so state funeral and all that.
    Trump has confirmed he will be attending. How many people will he offend?

    He was in a coma so wouldn't have suffered. Not a bad way to go.

    You do NOT want a major, incapacitating stroke that leaves you...alive but a veg. Nope. He knew he was at the end that's why he said, yeah, one last Easter Sunday "walkabout" as the Royals would say.

    Good on him...

    Facebook comments never fail. "I wonder what he was eating to look so unhealthy".
