RIP Mr Cronkite. You were the best.

Sir Bobby Robson has died today,at the age of 76.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8177945.stm

In an age where British football is increasingly mercenary and petulant,he stood out for the old school where loyalty and dignity and sportmanship were qualities to be admired. The British game has lost one of its senior statesmen,and the northeast of England mourns the passing of one of their heroes.

He was far and away THE VERY BEST journalist in television history.
RIP, Walter.

Well damn, my teenage years are disappearing.

Writer and Director John Hughes, director of The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and many more, dead at 59.

I second that, shawnee.

Don't ask for whom the bell tolls and all that.

Not this one.

Just heard this on the news.
Damn.
RIP and all that, John Hughes. Too young to die.

He gave my my first female crushes (Ally Sheedy and Molly Ringwald).
I still say "vodka" the same way Sheedy did in The Breakfast Club.

Heard in the news:

Quote:

Infomercial king Billy Mays' wife lashed out on Friday after Florida authorities released autopsy results showing cocaine helped kill him.

The medical examiner said Mays last used cocaine a few days before his June 28 death but wasn't high when he died in his sleep at his Tampa condo.

However, an autopsy found "cocaine use caused or contributed to the development of heart disease," the official cause of death.

Looks like his wife isn't to happy about it.

What bullshit. If it was an overdose or if he was high at the time of death, that's one thing. But trace amounts? Who cares?

What are they going to say when they do mine? "Traces of cheeseburgers were found in his system. Cheeseburger use caused or contributed to the development of heart disease".

There may be 'teachable moments' in celebrity deaths. But invading privacy in order to stretch the facts is wrong.
