Was pretty sure he was gone but had to check just in case. For a while there, we thought Kissinger might be immortal. Too wicked to die. Scary thought. Nope, broke 100 and checked out permanently. We're all the better for it. It's up to the younger generation to royally fuck things up now.

Juxtapose with Jimmy Carter, who also broke a 100, but left the place a bit less warm and cheerful when he left. Miss that man. Always will.
