Charles Krauthammer says he has 'only a few weeks left to live'

[Ban Hammer 13,333]

Charles Krauthammer, the famed conservative columnist, informed readers on Friday that he is confronting an aggressive form of cancer.

"My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live," he wrote.

Krauthammer shared the devastating news in a short, matter-of-fact note on the website of the Washington Post, where he has been a columnist since 1984.

"I leave this life with no regrets," he wrote in the farewell message. "It was a wonderful life -- full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living. I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended."

Krauthammer was also a longtime commentator on Fox News.

It's interesting what happens to the value of people's work when they pass away. I have a side business selling things on Amazon and one of the things I sell is used books. I picked up a used copy of Krauthammer's latest book for $1 last week and sent it in with a shipment hoping to sell it for about $15 (about $5 profit after Amazon fees). As of right now the going price on Amazon for this book used is about $50 (about $35 profit after fees) and rising. Mine should arrive tomorrow and be available for sale. Needless to say I have adjusted my asking price a bit.

I always like Krauthammer and his critical thinking skills.
