I don't usually do RIP posts, but I'm sad about Joan Rivers' passing, and I'll tell you why. Just about everyone loved Robin Williams, but not everyone loved Joan Rivers. She had the guts to be a controversial comedian. She joked about everything without discrimination, including herself. She didn't care if you liked her, she cared about the art of the joke. I believe that there is humor in everything and it should be exploited. Laughing is healthy and good for the psyche of humanity. It's wrong for a person to single out an individual or group out of meanness, like some of our current lawmakers do. But it's good when a comedian pokes fun at someone or something to show how ridiculous we or the things we do can be. And, some people are just a-holes that deserve to be ripped on for a taste of their own medicine. I'm sorry if you didn't like Joan, but she was fair and equal, and a straight shooter. Also, Joan took risks that opened up the door for female comics. She showed everyone that women can be just as funny if not funnier than many of their male counterparts. She deserves respect and recognition for this and for her long career. Some comedians lose their talent over the years, but Joan was just as funny and sharp as the first day she hit the stage. I miss Robin Williams, and I will also miss Joan Rivers for being funny and a pioneer who bucked the system and took shit from nobody! I'm not going to say RIP to Joan Rivers, because wherever she is, she wouldn't want to rest in peace, she would want to give them Hell! So, give 'em Hell, Joan!
