This is a biggie IMHO.
Take 10 minutes to listen to Michael Powell's eulogy at his father's funeral today.


BTW, George Patton's revolvers were IVORY not PEARL handled. :oops:

Off the field, he was a gentleman. On the field he would turn into a monster.

My all time football hero. Will be sorely missed.

Very good post. We could probably have a long lasting thread on principled Republicans of the past. A roster of these upstanding heroes would be longer than a football field. Margaret Chase Smith, Roy M Goodman, Earl Warren, Gov Thomas Dewey, Arlen Specter et seq. How I wish this party would be filled with such principled and patriotic public servants like it was in the past.

Joan Didion who had a very large following here in Lake Wobegone:



Joan Didion, whose mordant dispatches on California culture and the chaos of the 1960s established her as a leading exponent of the New Journalism, and whose novels “Play It as It Lays” and “The Book of Common Prayer” proclaimed the arrival of a tough, terse, distinctive voice in American fiction, died on Thursday at her home in Manhattan. She was 87.

The cause was Parkinson’s disease, according to an email sent by Paul Bogaards, an executive at Knopf, Ms. Didion’s publisher.

Ms. Didion came to prominence with a series of incisive, searching feature articles in Life magazine and The Saturday Evening Post that explored the fraying edges of postwar American life. California, her native state, provided her with her richest material. In sharp, knowing vignettes, she captured its harshness and beauty, its role as a magnet for restless settlers, its golden promise and rapidly vanishing past, and its power as a cultural laboratory.

“We believed in fresh starts,” she wrote in “Where I Was From” (2003), a psychic portrait of the state. “We believed in good luck. We believed in the miner who scratched together one last stake and struck the Comstock Lode.”

SOUTH Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu dies, aged 90

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and veteran of South Africa's struggle against white minority rule, has died aged 90, the presidency said on Sunday.

Tutu was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the late 1990s and in recent years he was hospitalized on several occasions to treat infections associated with his cancer treatment.

"Ultimately, at the age of 90, he died peacefully at the Oasis Frail Care Centre in Cape Town this morning," Dr Ramphela Mamphele, acting chairperson of the Archbishop Desmond Tutu IP Trust and Co-ordinator of the Office of the Archbishop, said in a statement on behalf of the Tutu family.
