Margaret Thatcher's passing (at 87, suffering from dementia) has had the airwaves buzzing. I suppose the print media will soon follow. She was one of those figures who was either loved and respected or hated and villifed. There are several stories I remember about Thatcher.
One, she defined "Socialists' Disease" as discovering they've run out of other people's money.
Two, she was once told that Hillary Clinton admired her and that Clinton thought they were very much alike. Thatcher apparently didn't take that as a compliment, not at all. She replied with something like, "How can she be at all like me? I'm nothing like her."
Three, she once was asked about liberals, "Can't you at least respect their position?" Thatcher's response was, "They have nothing to respect."
I had forgotten that she had a degree in chemistry, I believe it was.
