Another comedian gone

Unlike Robin Williams, but embracing a similar vein of humor, Joan Rivers was a phenomenon during the 60s and 70s.  I never much cared for the skewer everyone type of humor she specialized in, but she spared no one, including herself.  She re-invented herself several times, from a talk show gadfly to a one woman hurricane and a QVC pitchman and finally the host of a fashion put down show.  She never lost the sharp edge which cut everything in its path.  Ironically, the Divine Mrs. M appreciated the QVC Joan Rivers as she never did earlier in her career.  In any case, I salute her and mourn the passing of another funny person.  We need them more than ever.
