I wouldn’t question Harvey Levin’s sources OR being that foolish to write a fake story this big. He’s far too smart to ruin his business.

Bryant said it was a matter of standing up for what you believe in

Or a matter of flying into a hillside you believe in...

Neither was Bill Clinton so I guess we’d better stop calling him one too.

Makes me wonder if the pilot lost his sense of horizon and the helicopter began to tilt. Kind of like when John Kennedy Jr. crashed his plane in the fog because he lost his artificial horizon and thought he was flying straight when he was actually descending?

Well, he WAS a superstar.

And I agree generally, we are a bit obsessed with sports and other celebrity.

HOWEVER, OTOH, thank God we CAN get so excited about such unimportant things.

We have it great when we can do so.

The key is to remind citizens - including the libs who hate our society so much - that this IS the truth.

Walk a fine line between important things, and frivolity, and you know we have it good.

I call knowing all this, being spoiled, but NOT rotten.

Well, there was the fact that Kobe paid a settlement to his accuser. He was likely guilty as hell. But by buying her off, he got away with it. Or did he?

Starting to see reports that at least some of Kobe Bryant’s daughters were believed to be on board the helicopter. First responders confirmed there were no survivors of the crash.

Total of 5 on board, Kobe is one of them, was Kobe also flying his own helicopter, or was there a pilot on board
