On one hand, the day that Hank dies, a bunch of Cambodians/Laotians/Chileans, dead and alive, will dance a happy jig.

On the other hand, we'll all be forced to pretend that he was a glorious statesman, not a ghoul with blood on his hands. It will be like when Nixon died, and the various newsreaders were uncomfortably saying, "Yeah...uhh...well, you can't deny he was definitely the 37the President..." (H/T Tom Tomorrow).

This just in: During an interview at an event at the Council of Foreign Relations a few weeks back, he was decrying "Wokeness in education as a national security threat." Ahh, Henry. Always playing the hits, and I assumed the audience at CFR...mmm...I'm not sure what is appropriate discourse here, but let's just say there wasn't a pair of non-sticky oldman boxers in the joint after Kissinger said that. https://www.educationnext.org/kissinger-warns-on-education-wokeness-as-national-security-threat/

I still maintain that Kissinger, while living, is hopefully in dreadful pain every waking second of the day.

It's a fantasy, I acknowledge that, but I have to keep my child-like belief in karma.

When this man finally croaks, I may levitate off the ground in happiness.

I like it better when you use this series to make fun of bad people. RIP to a legend who will probably never be as celebrated as she should be.
