"I'll Have What She's Having'"

 RIP to the Reiners. May their family find as much peace as is possible in such a situation.

And may Donald Trump keep his poisoned mind and words out of your view and awareness.

I don't usually say RIP to famous people. I never knew them, only heard what got publicized if it was totally unavoidable since I don't follow that kind of breathless news. Who dates whom? Divorces ahead? Plastic surgery mistakes? Irrelevant! Will never change my life. Even when they die, I might miss whatever they created, like certain folk singers from back in the Viet Nam war era whose music I grew up with, formed opinions from, miss what a different future extending their creativity may have given us all... who were paying attention. That's about the time I started paying attention beyond myselfwe all , started growing.

By now I'm sure everybody has heard something about the murders of the Reiners. If you've listened long enough, what you heard may have changed, with all the jockeying for recognition for being the "firstest with the mostest" news. Depending on your age, you are likely aware of at least some of the creativity coming from decades of the brain of Rob, from Meathead on"All In The Family" on TV to the wide variety of movies he directed and produced. Look up the list if you haven't been hearing it repeated every couple hours in somebody's latest update.

My most memorable moment comes from "When Harry Met Sally" in the restaurant. You know it of course, when Sally publicly shows Harry just how easy it is for a woman to fake a hu-u-u-u-uge orgasm. Rob had the brainstorm to put his mother in the scene, watching the demonstration, after which she deadpans to the waiter, "I'll have what she's having!" It has to be one of, if not the single most famous quoted line from any movie. 

(Wouldn't we all like that to be real for us?)

What I absolutely won't have is the sh#t the current resident of the White house thought it appropriate to say about the Reiners, particularly Rob, since a wife apparently deserves little acknowledgment beyond a name. He made the entire comment about himself, claiming the murders were  ...  "reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME..."  He continued on, spewing his sick venom to anybody who'd read it and fall for it. You may feel free to go look it up if you care. I won't make it easy for you by providing a link. 

Just know nobody deserves that kind of send-off, with the possible exception of those who find it appropriate to denigrate others they know/fear they are unequal to and think they have to tear them down in order to put themselves above. The tragedy is not that he wrote it, because he always does. The tragedy will be those influenced in any way to believe a single word of it.

Reiner family, I wish you well in this terrible time. Your loss is our loss. We grieve with you. No sane human would wish to have what you're having, and we all wish we could take it away from you. May you all somehow find your way to peace.
