RIP John McCain

[nivek]

In our age of information, it is not enough to let a family grieve for the dead in private. We need to have cameras in place so the public can see how the deceased family is holding up. There is something maudlin about the whole affair to me.

These people seek the spotlight too, drama in public tastefully to get overwhelming sympathy and all the glory that comes with it, to each their own, they can have it...

John has a 106 year old mother that may attend the service.
John McCain's 106-year-old mother to attend Washington memorial services

I was unable to see/watch any of the videos. I'm having computer troubles. I'm also Canadian so, until I read this thread, I only knew two things about him.

1. After the presidential election he lost, I saw him on a talk show. Can't remember which one. The host asked how he slept the night after the election. He said he slept like a baby. He'd sleep for two hours, wake up and cry, sleep another two hours, wake and cry.... lol

2. What Toriod said here. That his mom turned 106 years old. That is amazing!

RIP

Here's a picture of John's 106 year old mother Roberta McCain. I heard or read that after we die we have 80 hours to wander around on Earth which works out to be 3.3 days. Could most people actually attend their own funeral?

It loos like he missed the window because the service was four days after his death.

I don't like funerals at all, so I even made plans to not to attend my own.

Yeah, just don't send yourself an invitation. I don't think you'll get angry at yourself for the rejection.

Just make sure there is a wake afterwards with plenty of liquor.
