Robert Matsui died

A good democrat, he was only 63. He was a lead opponent of privatizing social security. May he rest in peace.

1. it was a shock

when i found out today it was a total shock. i didn't even know he was sick.

but he was a really good guy.

his family was one of those japanese american families interned during WW2. i think he helped to pass bills which helped those families get reparations.

2. Yeah I think he was one of them

Thats a very good thing that he got the reperations. Its one of the things I really dislike about FDR.

3. Our Democrats are dying

why do I get suspicious every time, esp. when you say he was a major opponent of something the Bushs wanted.

I gotta take off the tin hat. It's not attractive.

May he rest in peace.

4. I am not a tin foil hat type myself

I dunno really, its just sad honest, yet another guy who will never see what life is like anew under a democratic president. My aunt and godmother never got to see it either, she died in 2001 before 9/11.

5. My father died last year...

I have had very similar thoughts about him. :(
