PJ O'Rourke is diagnosed with cancer, and pens an article about freedom, death, and G-d's creation: "Give me liberty, and give me death." Key graf:

"Thus, the next time I glimpse death ... well, I'm not going over and introducing myself. I'm not giving the grim reaper fist daps. But I'll remind myself to try, at least, to thank God for death. And then I'll thank God, with all my heart, for whiskey."
