Bob Dole, a war hero, I salute you.

Bob Dole, one of the greatest Kansans of all time, I salute you.

And Bob Dole, a man from an era in which some politicians actually worked across the aisle to get deals done for the betterment of America, I salute you. (Now of course if you are on one side and work to help the other you get followed in parking lots and malls and airports and yelled at by political zealots).

I doubt there will be many if any in the future willing to work with both sides so Bob Dole, thank u for your service and for all you tried to do and may you rest in peace.

What an icon. In this day and age of societal turmoil, I think EVERYBODY would agree Betty White was a national treasure. I would think EVERYBODY in America loves Betty White. Rest in peace, Betty White. Your 99 years were truly appreciated by many.

Only three NFL franchises have ever played a game without Betty White on this earth.
