Between Rush and Norm, we've lost two of our best voices this year.

Steven Crowder did a nice tribute to Norm McDonald on his show this morning. It included lots of video and audio clips of his funniest bits, with commentary from Crowder and his crew. Norm freaking out The View harpies by mentioning the Clinton murders, and confusing the heck out of Larry King, are my favorites.

The tribute starts at about 50:10 into the show, here:

I would normally rather have my eyes put out with a hot poker that watch those bitches,but I made sure to tune in when I found out Norm was going to be on the show. Damn glad I did,too. I thought Joy and BaBa were going to stroke out for a few minutes. Ok,ok. I was HOPING they would stroke out.

Norm didn't cut them ANY slack.

Loved the comments of how underrated Norm's movie Dirty Work was.   Incredibly funny flick.

John Rigas, founder of Adelphia Communications, dies at 96.

Rigas oversaw the creation of Adelphia, a multi-billion-dollar cable television empire that put his minuscule hometown of Coudersport, Pennsylvania on the map. He would invest much of the earnings he made from Adelphia into the communities of rural northern Pennsylvania and western New York, including for a time owning the NHL's Buffalo Sabres during an era when the team was at its most successful.

Rigas faced a complicated downfall after it was revealed that he and his sons had resorted to illegal activites that defrauded the shareholders who had held publicly traded stock in Adelphia. He and his sons were convicted on federal charges, Adelphia was dismantled, and the elder Rigas served nine years in prison. He was released due to poor health in 2016 and lived out the rest of his life in Coudersport. He left a complex legacy in that he remains generally respected in western New York and Pennsylvania as a Robin Hood-like character who exploited institutional wealth and invested it into an economically downtrodden community.

Lost in the shuffle... He passed a few days ago.

George Frayne IV (1944–2021), Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen

Frayne took on the stage name and persona of Commander Cody after co-founding the band in 1967. Their debut album, released in 1971, yielded their most popular hit, a cover of the 1955 song “Hot Rod Lincoln.” It rose to the top 10 in 1972. The band would later have moderate success with singles including “Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar” and “Don’t Let Go.” After 10 years with the Lost Planet Airmen, Frayne embarked on a solo career, still using the name Commander Cody. He was also a painter and videographer whose art was exhibited in museums.

@mountaineer


We all KNOW how to solve THAT little proglem,don't we? We just need to send them all back to whatever 12th century shithole they came from,and promise to kill them dead with bullets sprayed with Holy Water if we ever catch them in our countries.

The only question,and this is a serious questions,is "Why the HELL haven't we already started doing this?"

STOCKHOLM — The Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who had lived under police protection since his 2007 sketch of the Prophet Muhammad with a dog’s body brought death threats, died from a traffic accident Sunday, Swedish news media reported.

The accident reportedly involved a truck colliding with a civilian police car in which Lars Vilks and his police protection were traveling, news media said.  ...

The cause of the accident was under investigation. ...

Vilks’ life changed radically 13 years ago after he drew a sketch of Muhammad with a dog’s body. Dogs are considered unclean by conservative Muslims, and Islamic law generally opposes any depiction of the prophet, even favorable, for fear it could lead to idolatry.

Al-Qaida put a bounty on Vilks’ head. In 2010, two men tried to burn down his house in southern Sweden. Last year, a woman from Pennsylvania pleaded guilty in a plot to try to kill him.  ...

Why not?

I don't particularly feel like fighting a pro-vax vs. anti-vax argument in an obituary thread... there are plenty of threads in the Health board for that discussion, the main points of which have been beaten to death.

And I support your position 100%.  Other than brief comments, this is not the place for hashing out arguments that happen almost everywhere else on the Forum!

Yes, I agree, and that's why I didn't go there. The obit thread is not the place.
