Sad to hear of Beatty's death. I mostly remember him as "Myerson" in the movie "Hopskotch". A line from him some here might agree with is his definition of "FBI" - F#$%ing Ball-busting Imbeciles. Also in the movie were Walter Mathau, Herbert Lom, and several other notables who have eluded my half-caffeinated memory.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Beatty’s manager, Deborah Miller, said Beatty died Sunday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by friends and loved ones.



Ongoing joke in the early 70's is that Beatty's agent and manager should have been taken out back and shot after snookering him into being in Deliverance.  Any scene that includes dialogue like "Make you Squeal Like a Pig" should have been a hint right there that it wasn't a good career move.

@txradioguy   Back when I was in radio there was at least one "Herb" on every sales staff!  Over a client lunch one day I asked one guy if he'd ever thought about selling used cars?  He picked up his glass, finished the last swig of his martini and said; "There are some things even I wouldn't do!"

"Honor among thieves" is definitely a phrase that can be applied to salesmen.

@txradioguy

I wasn't a regular watcher,but back then there weren't many options,and I saw a show there one night I will never forget. The radio station DJ (Howard) and Herb got together and  decided to kick live turkey's out of a helicopter over a holiday crowd to promote the station.

I can still hear him saying "But I thought turkey's could fly!"

Software developer turned eccentric political gadfly John McAfee dies at 75 of presumed suicide.


Photo credit: Gage Skidmore
 
McAfee had been in Spanish prison and was awaiting extradition to the United States for tax evasion charges, as he believed taxes were unconstitutional. Increasingly paranoid in his last decade of life, he was also a suspect in the murder of his neighbor Gregory Faull, and claimed that if he were to turn up dead, it would be because someone murdered him.

Former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-AK) dies at 91.



Gravel, whose notable political stances included his staunch anti-war/noninterventionist stance and his belief in national popular vote, is better known for his longshot runs in the 2008 and 2020 Democratic presidential primaries.

'Cops' creator John Langley dies at 78
AP Updated: 11:11 AM EDT Jun 28, 2021
By ANDREW DALTON, AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — John Langley, who was the creator of the long-running TV series "Cops," has died during a road race in Mexico, a family spokeswoman said.

Langley died in Baja, Mexico, of an apparent heart attack Saturday during the Coast to Coast Ensenada-San Felipe 250 off-road race, family spokeswoman Pam Golum said. He was 78.

"Cops" was among the first reality series on the air when it debuted in 1989, and it would become an institution through 32 seasons. ...

It came under criticism for what was considered a slanted, pro-police perspective, and was permanently pulled from the air by Paramount last year during worldwide protests over the killing of George Floyd. ...

RIP, Mr. Langley. Thanks for showing people what it is like on the other side of the badge. I did not always agree with some of the methods used, but then, I'm neither a crook nor a cop. (Pity the show was pulled on the false pretense that police killed George Floyd and not the fentanyl he had on board.)

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.

Former US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld dies aged 88


Quote

Former US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who served during the Iraq War under George W Bush, has died aged 88.

His family said: "History may remember him for his extraordinary accomplishments over six decades of public service, but for those who knew him best and whose lives were forever changed as a result, we will remember his unwavering love for his wife Joyce, his family and friends, and the integrity he brought to a life dedicated to country."

Mr Rumsfeld was Mr Bush's defence secretary from 2001 until 2006. He also served in the same role under former president Gerald Ford between 1975 and 1977.
