Thats cause they ain’t no more recognizable celebrities, they all passed away.

When my kids talk about this actor or that musician, I scarcely have a clue.

Not death, but am I the only one who seems to notice that only republicans are getting the China Flu?  And I'll barf if anyone says it is dilligence in mask wearing.

I used to do fairly well on Jeopardy. Still do sometimes. But when the category is modern entertainment, I'm clueless. If it's younger than about 1990, I'm usually lost.

As a matter of fact I have noticed this as well. The closest thing to a leftist I've heard of was Tom Hanks & wife.

Its prolly because one half of the nation is busy living while the other half is curled in the fetal position. When all is said and done I know which half I'll want to have been part of.

Well I have to retract. My elder son now has the Woohan... along with his wife and all five kids.
But she's a nurse, and he's security at the hospital, so they were high risk for it anyway.
Anyhow, it's now close to home, and a whole house (and his in-laws house) that won't be at turkey day.

I know both Republicans and Democrats, both liberals and Conservatives who have gotten it. The Conservatives have done fine. One of the Liberals died.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

David Dinkins, New York City’s first Black mayor, dies at 93



Quote

David Dinkins, whose historic 1989 victory as the city’s first and only Black mayor was quickly eclipsed by rising crime and racial turmoil that doomed his re-election, died Monday at his home, police said. He was 93.

His death comes a little more than a month after his wife, Joyce, passed away on Oct. 11.

Dinkins, in his two decades after leaving City Hall, kept a busy schedule but a relatively low profile — teaching at Columbia University, doing charity work and making occasional appearances.

Hal Ketchum
1990s country singer dies at 67



Ketchum's time as a country music star was brief but successful, charting 11 consecutive top-30 country hits in just four years, from 1991 to 1995. He was among the wave of new country stars who were only vaguely stylistically country but dominated FM radio as it boomed in the early 1990s; unusually, despite his chart success, he never reached number-one, falling just short at number-two three times (debut hit "Small Town Saturday Night," "Past the Point of Rescue" and "Hearts are Gonna Roll").

Ketchum died November 23 from complications of Alzheimer's disease.

Paul Hornung, legendary NFL running back, dead at 84

Quote
Paul Hornung, a Hall of Fame running back who played for the Green Bay Packers, has died. He was 84.

Hornung died in his hometown of Louisville, Ky., after a long battle with dementia, the Louisville Sports Commission said in a statement.

Hornung won the 1956 Heisman Trophy award with Notre Dame as a quarterback. He turned pro in 1957 and played for the Packers as a fullback and halfback after being selected No. 1 overall.

He spent nine seasons with the Packers and was suspended for the entirety of the 1963 season because of a gambling suspension.

He was a part of the 1966 Packers team that won the first-ever Super Bowl, defeating the American Football League’s Kansas City Chiefs 35-10.

Oh yes....as a huge Packer fan those were the days.
I remember the first Packer game I saw on tv was the 1960 title game between the Packers and the Eagles. Jimmy Taylor got tackled on the Eagles six yard line by Chuck Bednarek I believe on the last play of the game. If Taylor had scored, that would have meant six titles in seven years for the Packers and Vince Lombardi who is still the most revered coach in Wisconsin sports history.
Hornung was The Golden Boy. A confirmed bachelor for most of his life, it was highly ironic that Hornung, a fun-loving bachelor who loved parties and girls not necessarily in that order, played in Green Bay the smallest city in the league and one definitely not known for exciting places for spirited athletes.
 Hornung is considered one of the all-time great Packers. Unfortunately, he missed one whole season, 1963, after being suspended for gambling.
When he returned for the 1964 season Hornung, the team's fg and pat kicker, had lost his timing and had a disastrous 12-38 conversion rate on fgs. His absolutely rotten kicking cost the Packers two or three games and a shot at the title.
I remember they lost one game to the Colts by one point when Hornung missed all five fg attempts none longer than about thirty yards. The goalposts were on the goal line in those days too.
He had one great game in the playoffs against the Colts in 1965 scoring five tds, but a pinched nerve ended his career early.
Nevertheless, The Golden Boy will be dearly missed by many old Packer fans.

David Prowse, Actor Who Played Darth Vader, Dead At 85 From COVID-19

Quote
Actor David Prowse died Saturday at age 85. His daughter said he’d contracted COVID-19 and had been in the hospital for treatment before his death.

Quote
In an interview with UK’s The Sun, Prowse daughter Rachel confirmed that her father, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, had been hospitalized for the last two weeks with Covid. Confirming the cause of death, Rachel Prowse said, “It’s horrible that Covid restrictions meant we did not get to see him and say goodbye. But when we went to collect his stuff from the hospital the nurse said what a cool guy he was. He was such a larger-than-life character. He would have loved to see himself trending on Twitter.”

BRUCE HERSCHENSOHN, RIP

Quote
Sad news of the passing yesterday of Bruce Herschensohn, long time conservative activist, documentary filmmaker, and commentator in California. I got to know him a bit in the mid-1980s when he was a commentator on a local TV news program in LA (paired up for nightly debates with former Democratic Senator John Tunney—see the promotional ad below), and then when he ran for the Senate in 1992, losing narrowly to Barbara Boxer while running a million votes ahead of President George H.W. Bush. (In the TV ad below, which aired during the GOP primary that year, Bruce attacks his liberal Republican rival, Tom Campbell.)

Scientist, Hugo Award winner, and prolific science fiction author and editor Ben Bova passed away on Sunday, November 29, 2020 at the age of 88, Tor.com is able to confirm. The author of more than one hundred books, Bova also edited some of the genre’s best-known publications and served as the president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.

Yep. I read his books too, because he was on the shelf next to Bradbury. Hate to see the old writers from the 60s and 70s that I read voraciously as a teen and in my twenties going or gone.

RIP Sir. And thanks.

Walter Williams....
   Walter Williams, R.I.P.
By Veronique de Rugy   
December 2, 2020 11:01 AM

The great economist and freedom fighter Walter Williams has died. This is an incredibly sad news. Walter was a great communicator of ideas and a prolific, provocative and uncompromising writer. He was the John M. Olin distinguished professor of economics at George Mason University. His voice, his happy-warrior demeanor, his cosmopolitan views, his endless fight on behalf of those with no political voices, and his generosity to all of us at Mason will be missed.  ... https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/walter-williams-r-i-p/

Years ago I carried on a correspondence with Dr. Williams for many months and was richly rewarded by that experience! May he rest in peace!

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
