think the usual things like shotgun blasts and plane crashes are much easier to engineer than some “Kabbalah death curse ritual”.

The latter is easier if you are already practicing in the realm and no one can trace any evidence back to you. My guess is certain people have become more sophisticated in their methods.

I knew Olbermann was certifiably insane while watching his coverage of the Scooter Libby pardon. He was almost foaming at the mouth as he treated it like the most serious constitutional crisis in the history of the Republic. I thought he was going to burst a blood vessel right there on the set.

It was so over-the-top that for a moment I thought he was putting everyone on. But he wasn’t. He really is seriously deranged.

My sincere sympathies and prayers to his family. Tim Russert was a very good interviewer and tried as hard as he could to be fair. He will be missed!

I’d like to think you’re better than that, RetiredArmy.

know what I did two weeks ago? I turned off my TV. I get my news, when I want it and decide what I read, from FreeRepublic.

I've been doing that for years. I'm STILL way more informed about news events and politics than most folks I know. They might listen to the news, but that's all they ever hear or know about an event. They don't know any of the story behind the blurb on TV.

But you're right, life's WAY too short to be continually pi$$ed off about politics.

Bring back Roger Mudd!

I second that. Roger Mudd may have been the greatest ever.

Glad you enjoyed it. ;)

He looks so proud of his son and his Dad.

Thanks. I see my post was pulled. Apparently someone’s delicate little sensitivities were offended.

All of us Freepers need to take heed. We sit at our computers way to long. :-)

You do realize he’ll probably be replaced with someone who, unlike Russert, won’t even try to be fair.

Of course... but the cruder the better. Russert was a master of the subliminal, DNC agenda.

I keep turning on MSNBC and there’s NOTHING. Just the Dog Whisperer shows.

Yes I am serious.

He sure does. Dad’s and mom’s aren’t supposed to bury sons or daughters.

[Bahbah]

Hey, gal, good to see you no matter the circumstances.

[Palladin]

Yeah—why use up all those extra heartbeats unnecessarilly?

[Yaelle]

Oh, how awful. Luke and Maureen must be in utter agony and heartbreak right now. If only, if only, if only, and yet there is no way to ever know beforehand. He broke the trip early to come home and do his job.

G-d bless him.

Thank you for posting that. So heartwarming. I don’t know Big Russ’ physical condition, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he joins his son in the very near future.
