So former president George H. W. Bush has died at the age of 94. He was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital in April, though it's not clear to me if he's been there that whole time. Apparently Barbara Bush also died in April, which I didn't even realize.
HW was my second-favorite president since at least Eisenhower, and might have been my favorite save for Clarence Thomas: I hold a grudge both over the presence of such a complete nut on SCOTUS and the treatment of Anita Hill during his confirmation, so I judge him really harshly for that. Still, there's a lot that he did which I'm really happy with, and I like him far better than the much more popular presidents who bookended him, or the son who served four years longer and made a mockery of the family name. He was already pretty senile and at 94 it was clearly his time, but I will miss him all the same.
