Five 'News Headlines' deemed more important than the passing of a US Congressman

Remember when your parents told you, "We should not speak ill of the dead." 

         

But, truthfully speaking, It depends on who’s dead, and who is speaking of the dead.

For the next couple of days, we will be saturated with news reports, inflated by mounds of gobbledegook, about how kind, gentle, harmless, humble and god-fearing the dearly departed was, ignoring bad things;

 

and focusing only on good things.

"Last words can make quite the impact as we shuffle off the stage of life."

Eulogy
