Art Buchwald is finally dead.

I don't know how many of you read political/social satirists or are old enough to remember him, but the guy was brilliant and frequently hilarious. I used to never miss his nationally syndicated column. His doctors told him he would be dead by last February after his kidneys failed and he refused dialysis, but he mysteriously failed to die, joking about it the whole time. Here's an article that I saw about it:

This makes me way sadder than Gerald Ford dying.

I've never heard of him, but that is awesome that he held on for so long.
