re: #384 Sir John Barron

I coulda swore I heard that Lugar had died recently, but according to Wiki he is still with us.

Yeah you don’t hear much at all from him which is honestly surprising. Perhaps he just wants to enjoy retirement. He had a lot of time in public life even before he became Indiana’s Senator. I believe Indianapolis’ mayor in 1968. He seemed like a decent guy to me. More conservative than me personally but a decent guy much like Chuck Hagel was and not surprisingly he was someone that Obama as a Senator worked with on foreign policy issues since Lugar was a FP guy and not a culture warrior.
