Nobody's perfectly awful

Margaret Thatcher’s funeral will have a Falklands War theme. Of course. When you're burying someone who did precisely one thing right, emphasize that. I do not follow de mortuis nil nisi bonum, but those who do need almost never remain totally silent, since the deservedly deceased probably encountered someone even worse. Example: Hugo Chavez really pissed George W. Bush off. Further deponent saith not. When Noam Chomsky goes to the place he thinks is Heaven because nobody suffers less than anyone else, we can point out that he once kicked B.F. Skinner's behaviorist ass around the block.
