From Bob Dole's farewell letter: "I'm a bit curious to learn if I am correct in thinking that Heaven will look a lot like Kansas.
…And to see, like others who have gone before me, if I will still be able to vote in Chicago."

News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
RUSSELL, KS—Former Senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole has passed away at 98, marking his transition from a lifelong Republican to a reliable Democrat voter.
“Bob Dole was an American hero and a patriot,” said DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. “We are grateful for his service to the country, and we welcome him to the Democrat Party as a faithful Democrat voter for the rest of time.”
According to sources, Bob Dole has already endorsed every local, state, and federal candidate with a “D” after their name, and will continue to support them via mail-in ballot for the foreseeable future.
Bob Dole’s father, Doran Ray Dole, also a proud Democrat supporter, is proud to be joined by his son in voting for Democrats as well.
Go here to read the rest. Always greet the Grim Reaper with a smile and a joke.
Bob Dole was a colleague of mine. A great wit, he was a man of conservative instincts who viewed political principles with suspicion. He preferred pragmatics to dogma. We often disagreed, but his love of country and his countrymen was genuine and visceral. (Corrected)
He preferred pragmatics to dogma.
