I'm sad for his family.  RIP, Mr. Holbrooke.
Sneaking into a country doesn't make you an immigrant any
more than breaking into someone's house makes you part of the family.

RIP sir.
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

RIP, Mr Holbrooke. Prayers for your family...
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.
