Not long at all after failed comedian Kathy Griffin attempted to gain glory by publishing a picture of herself with a facsimile of President Donald Trump’s head, severed and in hand, she is once again finding herself in media spotlight.
And once again, it is largely to do with a head.
This time, however, it’s for a cause we can all get behind.

Now, anyone who has been paying any amount of attention to the news in the past few months knows that to be a mother’s love talking. The picture of Griffin holding Trump’s head was everywhere. It was inexcusable and telling of Kathy Griffin’s character — obviously.
In fact, the woman was under federal investigation for some time following her reprehensible actions, and that investigation has recently been halted, according to a tweet by Griffin on Friday.
But there’s no faulting her for the actions she took this time.

CNN reports that Kathy Griffin is actually one of five children, one of whom, Gary, has already died.
We may not like her for what she did with that picture of Trump’s head, and we may not like her for the endorsement of anti-Trump violence the picture implied. But cancer is not something we would wish on anyone, and certainly not the siblings of Kathy, who are not responsible for her stunt.
However we may feel about Kathy Griffin, I think I speak for all of us when I wish Joyce Griffin the best of luck in her battle against cancer.
