Something about him seemed invincible, like so many larger-than-life figures, but I suppose it's no surprise longevity wasn't in the cards for him. It's hard to imagine an artist like him making it today, even as a counter-culture anti-hero. I hope he's sailing the eternal seas with Commodore Elvis.

Joe Lieberman Dies: Former Senator And Vice Presidential Candidate Was 82

Joe Lieberman, the former Connecticut senator and Al Gore's Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2000, has died. He was 82.

deadline.com

He (like another former Senator named Joe) offered his full-throated support for the Iraq War, helping to whip Democratic votes in the Senate for it. Upwards of a million dead people on Joe's account.

He also tanked the Affordable Care Act's public option. Not sure exactly how many Americans he killed with that decision. At least a 5-figure number though.
