Robin Williams could make you laugh until your sides hurt, and your beer is exploding out your nose! Robin's acting chops for serious roles showed he was not just another funny face, but his way of slipping his very liberal politics into his stand up humor always stuck in my craw.
I make fun of a lot of folks I agree politically with but I never make fun of their beliefs because those are mine also. That is a line I will not cross. Robin Williams crossed the line too many times to count, especially on George W. Bush and Sarah Palin.
Now, he takes his own life. I know depression. I lived it for a long time and know how it can be a struggle just to get out of bed. That said, while I have empathy for his plight, I do not have any sympathy at all for his solution.
And to top it off, the media will wring this out until they hope there is not a dry eye in the house. His death pushes all the other news off the page.
God help us when Whoopi goes--
Then suspect the White House...
