RIP Barbara Bush

Invited to Barbara Bush’s funeral was the owner of her favorite pizza restaurant...he and his wife sat next to me.She wanted to include people who were a part of her life and she loved their restaurant. It was not all big names but all very important people to her.

Aw that's nice I'm sure the Comet Pizza owners were touched

Wishing bad thoughts to a dead person is the epitome of bad shit. Do you want to add to the shiftiness of the world ? Keep being negative then.

Shitiness **

Barbara Bush was a person. Now she is dead. But while alive she was very close to the pinnacle of public power, where decisions made by her husband and her children affected many millions, if not billions of people. If it was OK to point out her shortcomings during her life, her dying does not excuse or dismiss those shortcomings. I don't think her flaws or wrongs were so massive as to justify glee upon her death, but painting her in false colors does no one any good.

Joking aside, that pizza story remind me of something I did like about Bar & HW, which is that were always pretty supportive of local Houston businesses (albeit ones of a certain stripe, natch--no taco stands for them) and many arts organizations (albeit ones of...).

powerful: they have chosen to be buried alive with the coffin and guard her unto eternity https://t.co/2H12rjhvYG

A storied tradition which humankind has allowed to lapse for too many thousands of years.
