The world works in mysterious ways. In the past two days we've seen the deaths of Henry Hyde, abortion opponent, House impeachment manager and man who wrote off an adulterous affair in his 40s as a youthful indiscretion, Roger Smith, former CEO of General Motors, immortalized in Michael Moore's film Roger and Me, and Evel Knievel, certified loony daredevil on two wheels.
What an odd group to be forever joined together by dates of death.

Hyde by his despicable attacks on a woman's right to choose (especially poor women); Smith for what he did to the working people of Flint, Michigan; and Knievel for what he did to himself in all those daredevil stunts.
