You know what they say… speak ill of the dead.

My dad died from the same cancer about a year before McCain was diagnosed. Terrible, terrible thing to go through. I feel bad writing it out, but it gives me a bit of comfort to know it isn't something that could have been managed with the added resources of someone on the national stage like McCain. The first surgery is pretty amazing because they can get almost all of the cancer out, and all the weird behavior just…
