If you're so inclined, John McCain left a letter to America. Read in full, or in part, below.

‘Fellow Americans’ – that association has meant more to me than any other. I lived and died a proud American. We are citizens of the world’s greatest republic, a nation of ideals, not blood and soil. We are blessed and are a blessing to humanity when we uphold and advance those ideals at home and in the world. We have helped liberate more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history. We have acquired great wealth and power in the process.

do u have proof he wrote this himself or some pr agency? The spelling and grammar is a bit too perfect for a personal letter . Also it read as one were great nothing is wrong go back to sleepm text, Maybe he was killed for wanting to tell whats realy happening behind the curtains and now they spinned it 180 degrees around??
btw love to read the full letter but the link dont work does he mention any points that need improvment or is usa heaven on earth as is, and a blessing to the rest of the world?

No, I don't have proof, but he probably dictated it to someone who cleaned it up and made it presentable.

It's most likely that this letter is a collaborative effort between McCain and his long-time speech writer, Mark Salter. Since 1988, Salter has also been one of McCain's personal best friends. I bet they started writing it when McCain first got his diagnosis.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
