President Barack Obama and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel paid tribute to actor and comedian Robin Williams Monday.
Williams, 63, was found dead in his northern California home Monday and officials said it appeared to be a suicide.
Obama said in a statement issued Monday night that Williams "arrived in our lives as an alien — but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit," referring to Williams' late 1970s role in the TV show "Mork and Mindy." The president was on vacation on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.

OMG Obama is such an ahole!
RIP Robin Williams.
Quite agreed.
Someone should photoshop Mitch McConnell’s head onto Norman Wisdom’s at about 6:40, and have Obama’s face imposed on the percussionist’s face.
I’d join yer club but I’m afraid you’d clobber me with it..

Robin was terrific in ‘What Dreams May Come’. And I wasn’t too fond of RW. A bit to energetic for my liking. Jim Carrey is another who come close to frenzy, and then he filmed ‘The Truman Show’ which might the only time he appeared sane. Strange movie, but a good one.
I’ve had a wonderful evening. This wasn’t it.

Has the prez ever said anything publicly about Maj. Gen Harold Greene? I know for at least a week after he was killed, the W.H. was totally silent.
It’s only been a week, but AFAIK, the president hasn’t made any comments about it.
Nor do I expect him to attend the funeral.
Robin Williams
“His support of the Democratic Party goes into six-figure territory, with his political donations to the party and left-leaning special interest groups totaling over $150,000.9
His liberalism extends into criticisms of Republicans and conservatives with the full weight of his comedic and critical genius going to former U.S. president George W. Bush. For example, when Obama was elected he said:
It’s the end of the reign of George the 2nd. The reign of error is over. America is officially out of rehab…He’s a gift to comedy, though, he’s a comedy pinata. I’m going to miss him.”

One Hundred Years of the Marx Brothers

There was always something “other,” something “outsider” about the Marx Brothers—they seemed to belong to an entirely different universe, not only from the other actors in their movies, but from each other. The members of many comedy teams, like Olsen and Johnson or the Ritz Brothers, were so similar you often couldn’t tell them apart. Others may have had physical contrasts—Laurel and Hardy, say, or Abbott and Costello—but those still seemed to be two halves of a whole.
The Marxes, on the other hand, could have been members of three separate teams: one visual, one verbal and the other ethnic and musical. But what ultimately united Harpo, Groucho and Chico was a shared sense of subversive surrealism—each was, in his own way, anarchically absurdist. They were perfect as individuals and perfect as an ensemble.
This point is underscored in “The Marx Brothers TV Collection,” a new DVD set being released Tuesday to commemorate the centennial of the Marx Brothers, who first began working together as a vaudeville act under their now-iconic stage names in May 1914.....

Robin Williams said that his inspiration was Jonathan Winters.
It is too bad that Mr. Williams did not follow Jonathan Winters attitude of being his own man and not becoming a follower of the Leftist Hollywood crowd in order to get their approval.
But maybe I shouldn't gripe. Country's safer when he's on vaca!
Great point!
Brilliant.
The sin of narcissistic pride, is #1 on God’s black-list. in fact, according to God, Mr. President, your a shoe-in for an eternity with old cloven-hoof himself.
Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
1Co 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
1Co 6:10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Rev 21:6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.
Rev 21:7 The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
Rev 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
This world’s attempt to ignore or stamp out God’s Truth on such eternal issues will not stop God’s Holy Justice from being carried out on those who refused to repent and draw from His his mercy and forgiveness in this life.
