A Brief and Sudden illness? Treason causes unfortunate circumstances doesn't it. Just sayin....Karma is a bitch. I pulled this partial article from NYT Still, Mr. Graham’s unexpected death after three decades in Congress, from what his office described only as a “brief and sudden illness,” was the latest reminder that the institution celebrates seniority and is built to avoid raising questions about incumbency and accumulated power. Even as remembrances poured in, so did calls for change to what many people view as a broken system that is making government more dysfunctional. “The constant deaths in office we’ve seen over the last few years aren’t shocking when you have a gerontocracy where too many elected officials would rather die at their desks than let anyone new fix people’s problems,” said Rohan Patel, the executive director of Majority Democrats, a political action committee that backs the next generation of Democrats and soon plans to roll out a campaign targeting older lawmakers. Mr. Patel added: “If you haven’t worried about child care in 50 years, applied for a job in 40 or bought a house in 30, you cannot understand the problems Americans are facing today, and the rest of us are paying the price.”
