Margaret Thatcher Dead. Finally?

The former Prime Minister of the UK, Margaret Thatcher has died of stroke. I don’t really have strong feelings one way or the other (I got that from Jeremy Irons). I remember her well, though. She killed the labor unions in England and kicked Argentina’s ass in the South-Atlantic over a shitty little island that really should belong to Argentina; a vestige of British imperialism. She also, reportedly, had the hots for our own demi-god of the era, President Ronald Reagan. Her bio-pic was a bore. From what I’ve heard she was somewhat of a bitch. I can believe that. Good riddance, perhaps? I really don’t know. Or care.
