I do know that dying of liver cancer is quite exruciating, based on research.

oh really? Where'd you do the research?

I thought that you built up serum ammonia and went to sleep...not painful...or developed varices on the esophagus and bled out. By that time your serum ammonia level is sky high, you're comatose or at best obtunded and difficult to arouse. If you die of liver failure then you fail to produce albumin, are unable to maintain your blood pressure and quietly slip into a coma as your blood pressure drops and you 3rd space all your fluids. In other words you turn yellow, then you die.

He was a "yippee", whatever that meant. He lived and now he's dead. Big whup-dee-doo.

The only reason he's mentioned by the AP (Al-Jazeera Press) is that he hated our country, capitalism and liberty...other than that he was just some "guy" who didn't produce anything of value, didn't affect anyone of importance and didn't leave a mark on anything but a police blotter and the vague memory of a bunch of wasted, hemp heads and free loaders...yawn, my dog "Champy's" death affected me more than this clown.

If you think dying from liver cancer is painless, then I'm assuming you are one of those that also believes Terri Schiavo went into the good night in a state of euphoria.

You see, your cold, clinical, cut and paste job on the symptomology of liver cancer does not take into account the emotional pain, the pain associated with any cancer that metastisized from the original growth, which yes is largely painless and therefore left undiagnosed until the tumor has grown larger.

I recoil at those that can, in a cold fashion, take delight in the death of another, regardless of political stripe or past deeds.

Death visits us all, don't forget that fact.

To invoke your dog Champy's death is quite shallow in the context of the article.

To use your cold flippancy, it sounds like ole' Champy wasn't much of a champ after all.
