An obituary quoted in The Nation.
Theodore Roosevelt Heller, 88, loving father of Charles (Joann) Heller; dear brother of the late Sonya (the late Jack) Steinberg. Ted was discharged from the U.S. Army during WWII due to service related injuries, and then forced his way back into the Illinois National Guard insisting no one tells him when to serve his country. Graveside services Tuesday 11 a.m. at Waldheim Jewish Cemetery (Ziditshover section), 1700 S. Harlem Ave., Chicago. In lieu of flowers, please send acerbic letters to Republicans.

Ha, how many Republicans know what acerbic means? I got 10 bucks says Chimpy doesn't know!
Doesn't acerbic mean they hate us for our freedoms?
"..No one tells me when to serve my country."
Sounds like my kind of guy.

Now you know why the neo-cons are so eager for the WWII generation to finish dying out. They are survivors of an era when Big Government worked -- when Big Government won this nation's biggest war -- and the last thing they want is people pointing out that government is not inherently dysfunctional but, rather, is only dysfunctional when morons, oligarchs, and just plain evil people are in charge of it.
