Death of a Wonderful Old Codger

I am saddened to hear that Gore Vidal has died - he was (as I've pointed out before) one of my favourite American cultural and political voices.  In his later years, his cantankerous nature shone through, and I can only hope to be so unabashed in my own twilight.

I refer you again to the last interview I saw him do, several years ago.  Opinionated and argumentative and downright bitchy... gotta love it.

1925-2012
