You shouldn't say anything about the dead unless it's good. So she's dead. Good!

Like Clarence Darrow, I never wished anyone dead, but I have enjoyed reading several obituaries.

Fuck you Anita Bryant. The world is in a better place now that you're gone. I wish you nothing less than eternal pain and torment.

She knew she could safely pass, knowing her legacy is about to get fucking supercharged by the incoming musk administration.

The world is always better than it was before a genuinely evil person passes, just a crying shame her putrid legacy didn't kick the bucket with her.
