Another bad one soon gone

According to the New York Times the senior senator from Pennsylvania, Arlen Spector, has had his Hodgkin’s lymphoma recur.
At age 78, that's not a good sign.

Rico says he doesn't like to wish bad things on anyone, but if it's going to happen to anyone, surely a benighted fool like Spector is a better target than, say, your mom or mine... (Though I have a dear friend, suffering through the late stages of his mother's Alzheimer's, who'd probably be willing for her to get Arlen's disease. Me, too, as long as Arlen gets to keep some for himself...)
