    Damn, I had no idea he was battling cancer.

    His immortal words: “I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”

    Quote
    “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

    Quote

    "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

    Never really found him all that funny, but is shame to die that young.

    His Burt Reynolds sure was funny, on the other hand, Celebrity Jeaopardy is about the only thing I also found Will Ferrell to be exceedingly funny in, so take that with a grain of salt. 

    No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

    Norm was a genius. Nobody else could pull this off on The View:

    More "likeable" than funny but RIP nonetheless.

    Really ruined his legacy with the presentation at the UN.  Although I guess his involvement in covering up My Lai had it tarnished enough.

    He's with his buddies Saddam and Rumsfeld now.

    The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

    Too bad he never ran for president. :(
