Obituary:  Supercentenarian Richard Overton, 112, the oldest World War II veteran, has died.  He was also the oldest man in the United States.


He told CNN in 2013 that he credited God for living so long but said he didn't take any medicine and enjoyed his vices.
"I drink whiskey in my coffee. Sometimes I drink it straight," he said when he was 107. "I smoke my cigars, blow the smoke out; I don't swallow it."

In a statement Thursday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called Overton "an American icon and a Texas legend."

"With his quick wit and kind spirit he touched the lives of so many, and I am deeply honored to have known him," Abbott said. "Richard Overton made us proud to be Texans and proud to be Americans. We can never repay Richard Overton for his service to our nation and for his lasting impact on the Lone Star State."

Once a fraud, always a fraud.

What an ass:


Even Thursday, he threw Alex Rodriguez under the bus, saying he doesn’t understand why the New York Yankees third baseman has been able to rehabilitate his image and he can’t. Rodriguez was banned by Major League Baseball for an entire season after testing positive for performance enhancing drugs.

“Alex Rodriguez didn’t raise half a billion dollars and try to save a bunch of people’s lives. That’s kind of the irony of this,” Armstrong said. “Look, it’s great when somebody hits home runs and maybe does an event here and there for the Girls and Boys Club. This story held a place in peoples’ hearts and minds that was way beyond those guys.”

Ah, yes. The cancer card.

Perhaps the worst thing Armstrong did was exploit cancer patients by creating a foundation as a shield against criticism.

I don't know how his sociopathy originated, but it has been toxic to him and to everybody around him.

How did his cheating begin?  This link may provide a few clues.
