May he go where no man has gone before, with all the time he needs

was he flipping off the gnatzees when he lost it?

He was always the coolest character on that show. "ah need Muuuuure time Keptin"

Blues artist Long John Baldry, 64. If he's bound for hell, he can forget about long johns.

Them cigarettes will get you eventually. For a high school drop-out, I'd say he did pretty well for himself. Hard to believe Rather, Brokaw and Jennings are all replaced after sharing the airwaves for so many years together.

My mother died of lung cancer 5 weeks after her diagnosis.

Good Morning America had a great tribute to Jennings, the anchors were teary eyed and their voices were breaking throughout the broadcast. They interviewed Brokaw, Rather and the guy from Nightline...can't remember his name. Very touching. He was well respected.

That's the guy. Nightline has been off the air for a while.

I remember when he announced he had cancer. It was very shocking, but he said that he had taken up smoking again after the 9/11 attacks. Our prayers out to his family and loved ones. An icon of American television passes onto legend status.

Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, 80

Dead this week are the marriages of Zellweger-Chesney (4 months - being annuled for 'fraud'?!?!) and Ms Beverly Hills 90210 herself Tori Spelling (1 year).  Does that count???

Also gone is Sid Luft.  Judy Garland's 3rd husband.  Well know for being a raging drunk and used to knock sweet Dorothy around! 

 

 

 

I stay away just long enough for you to get past being glad to see me go and switch to missing me!  So I'm back for the time being.  Just long enough until you're sick of me again! 

No one good died in the news...but speaking of dead people check out that Tupac is spelt backwards!  Guess he never had a chance! 

Holocaust Survivor Simon Wiesenthal Dies at 96

Very sad.  Been to the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles many times.  He was an amazing man, survivor, Nazi hunter, advocate.

Another good holocause author is Eli Weisel. He wrote a book called "Night" and it gave me nightmares. It was his experience in a Concentration camp when he was 14, which is my sons age now.

One scene was the Nazis were walking them into the camp area, but first they marched them straight toward a pit that was on fire with dead bodies. They thought they were being marched straight into the fire and he had to hear his father crying saying he wished they had died on the way to camp because he did not want to watch his son die in the fire. I am sure they were in shock at that point. They turned them and made them march along the line of the pit to see all the dead bodies burning..then beat them as they herded them into barracks. He saw other horrible things too terrible to print here and he ended that paragraph with "I was 14" I had to put it down because I was too shaken up. I tried to keep the images of my own son in that situation, out of my head.

Simon Weisenthal should be remembered as one of the great men of history. His contributions help future generations learn what should never be forgotten.

Don Adams. Sorry, chief.

Rosa Parks, 92. Reportedly sitting in God's seat now and unwilling to give it up.
