MSN.com has a very unflattering picture of old Punch on their hotmail sign-out page, but I can't cut and paste the URL. It looks like Punch is receiving the news of his own death. Much worse than this one:

Punch was a transitional figure. He went beyond FDR or JFK era liberalism, but wasn't yet a part of today's multiethnic, multicultural, multisexual, monolithically left-liberal newsroom in the way that his son Pinch is. RIP, Punch.

Yep...Keith Olbermann started out as a sportscaster.

I didn't realized that John Silber had died. I don't watch local news or read the papers here in MA, so I'm clueless when things happen here, unless I read them on FR.

John Silber is the ONLY Democrat I've voted for in the last 30 years. I supported him against William Weld, when he ran for Governor of MA. Weld was the WORST kind of RINO.

I look forward to the rest of the NY Times joining him in the afterlife.

Oh what a party that day will be when the NY Times prints its final edition of a dead tree paper.

They ought to bury him next to Cronkite so it’ll only take one bladder load.
