RIP: Leona Helmsley. (link courtesy of Newsweek).

Excerpt: "Helmsley, the eccentric hotelier and real-estate tycoon who became an iconic figure in New York City thanks to her ubiquitous advertisements and reputation as the cold, cruel "Queen of Mean," died of heart failure at her Greenwich, Conn., home Monday."

She always impressed me as one of those for whom it could be said, that if she were half as great as she thinks she is, the world would be a much better place in which to live.

I guess I should edit that for the past tense.

Oh well ...

I learned about her famous tax remark for little people... and for some reason it infuriated me to no end. It still does. Her having left this world will probably improve the air quality.

Sorry, I have no patience or consideration for those who reduce others to masses or numbers.

honestly, who cares besides her family

This doesn't seem that news worthy

I'm struggling with the concept of someone without a heart dying of heart failure.
