CNN's report on Big Lou's passing is bitter and insulting.

Lou Dobbs, veteran cable news anchor and Trump booster, dies at 78

Coming from CNN?
That's high praise.
It means Lou Dobbs had it right.

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.

Watched Lou in the early days. He opened my eyes to alot of things. RIP for a good job done.

Bob Newhart was a grandmaster comedian and I can't think of anyone that came close to besting his skill and style.

Fandango founder J. Michael Cline dies of apparent suicide at New York City luxury hotel



Quote
The founder of the movie ticket company Fandango died after he fell from a New York City luxury hotel in an apparent suicide Tuesday, authorities say.

J. Michael Cline, 64, of Palm Beach, Florida, was found “unconscious and unresponsive” Tuesday morning.

New York City police were called shortly after 10 a.m. to the Kimberly Hotel at 145 East 50th St. in Manhattan, where they found Cline with injuries “indicative of a fall from an elevated position,” police said. He was pronounced dead at 10:30.

Bob Newhart’s lasting legacy in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood

https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/bob-newharts-lasting-legacy-in-chicagos-edgewater-neighborhood/amp/

Quote
From 1972 to 1978, ‘The Bob Newhart Show,’ featuring Bob and Emily Hartley, put Chicago in the spotlight.

Featured in the open was the Edgewater-area condominium at Sheridan and Thorndale, where the couple lived.

“Every week, the opening credit sequence showed Bob walking up to this building and I think it would have to qualify as one of the most overexposed buildings in Chicago,” said John Holden, president of the Edgewater Historical Society.

The Bob Newhart in present day, officially known as the Thorndale Beach Condominiums.
Margie Fritz-Birche’s late husband, Bill, was the director of photography for the show.

“He shot all the opening sequences and every Chicago scene you see in the show, Bill shot,” she said. “We worked with a lot of celebrities, and they’re not always the nicest of people, but Bob was down to earth, really nice, very funny, and Bill said he was just a pleasure to work with.”

@SJacksonLee

I have no idea what Donald Trump was talking about last night. For more than an hour, he rambled and lied. He is unfit for the Presidency! Now, my friends, is the time to focus on beating him and his Project 2025 monstrosity. Enough is enough!

Dying with a lie on your lips tells me that you don't fear the Lord. I get the feeling that her soul was unprepared for her death, in spite of the fact that she had ample warning. The woman didn't know when to stop being a political animal.  **nononono*


P.S. Who else believes this was penned days ago, and it didn't matter what Trump said in his speech, she was going to take a final swipe at him on her way out? What a legacy! God have mercy on her soul.

Songwriter-producer Jerry Fuller (not me) dies at 85

Among the hits Fuller wrote in the late 1950s into the mid-1960s that became hits were "Travelin' Man" (among others) for Ricky Nelson, "Young Girl" for Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, "Lies" for the Knickerbockers, "Arizona" by Mark Lindsay, and "Show and Tell," which became a hit for Al Wilson in the 1970s.
