One comforting thing about the current crop of US leaders is that the inevitable death that comes for us all doesn't care how much they weasel and maneuver.

I'm constantly amazed that few of them seem to care what legacy they're building.

When I'm gone, a bunch of people will remember me, and genuinely miss me. I figure it'll be a solid half dozen, for sure. Probably dozens, even.

Yes, I've invested in people's lives and welfares a great deal.

But I've also just managed to not present myself as incredibly racist or everybody-interesting-phobic.

I think both of those life choices factor into how I'll be remembered.

I cannot fathom making this much of an ass of myself, perhaps because my mother raised me correctly.

And I'm not setting some high bar here. I make an ass of myself plenty. Just not this much.

Edit: I should clarify, my disgust is with starting this kind of crap while supposedly being a world leader. Shutting someone up who started this kind of crap, I'm all for.
