"In 2002, after switching parties to become a Democrat, Larson ran unsuccessfully for Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, on the ticket with Democrat Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. He and his wife, Sally, resided in Annapolis until his death."

It figures McLame would want to lay beside a fellow Democrat.

I want to smell the rose-scented breeze and feel the sun on my shoulders. I want to watch the hawks hunt from the sycamore, and then take my leave bound for a place near my old friend Chuck Larson, in the cemetery on the Severn (River), back where it began,’ McCain wrote in his latest book.

Does he not understand what being dead means?

The spirits of his father and grandfather are greatly relieved!

I heard that Trump offered to dig his grave but John said NO, not to my funeral and not to dig my grave. To me, as long as he is under is just fine. What a miserable old stupid man.

The USS John S. McCain (DDG-56) was named after the Senator’s father and grandfather not him.

McCain, you should be buried in Hanoi, next to the grave of Ho Chi Min and the future gravesite of Hanoi Jane.

Custer is intered at the USAMA in NY. The black stripes on the dress uniforms honor him. Go figure, history is a trip.

I was in Annapolis in 1980 when I was on the crew of a 115’ yacht delivering it to Florida. It is a beautiful city. I would hate to see It’s reputation darkened by association with that man.

Can’t his body just be dumped in a ditch and the road crew come by and drop some dirt on it?
