I just read that Joan Rivers passed today at 81. I don't know about anyone else, but to me she is the last of the great insult comedians. It takes a special skill to insult any one, any thing, any place and have them give you a standing ovation for doing it. Outrageous, yes. Too much plastic surgery, yes. Comments designed to shock even the unflappable, yes. She walked a line close to obscenity but, as far as I can remember, never crossed it. I'm sure that when where she is now realized that she had moved in probably said, there goes the neighborhood while their property values went up.
