RIP, Chris. Lived much longer than expected. Diagnosed 8 years ago with Stage 4 Throat Cancer.

Interesting. Kohl's must be pretty well managed as all the other dept stores around here seem to be closing or on the verge of that.

I recall him as against Trade Agreements, like NAFTA. Got a law passed requiring child safety locks on handguns. .Against the Gulf War with Iraq over Kuwait. A somewhat conservative Democrat.

Self-described Liberal Populist.

It's interesting. In 1969, the Right-Wing and new POTUS, Richard Nixon, hated the show. Nixon was thin-skinned and was angry at the jokes about him, the political Right disliked long-haired hippies, fought a rear guard action against Civil Rights mandates, and especially detested the Anti-Viet...

CBS famously yanked the show from the air after they ran afoul of the network for their political critiques, defense of civil rights and their opposition to the Vietnam War. The show became both popular and controversial for timely references to the "youth culture" and the issues that both...

Matthew Perry died from effects of ketamine, autopsy says. Also,had opioid treatment Buprenorphine in system.

Ryan O'Neal died today at age 82. Acted in "Love Story" and "Paper Moon," to name two of his more famous films. Married to the late Farrah Fawcett. A "pretty boy" actor, he was actually a Golden Gloves fighter as a teen in LA.

A lot of his shows seemed so culturally "edgy" and modern in outlook back in the 70s. Now, very dated and G-rated! The march of time.

Interesting little anecdote. Decades before they would serve together on the Supreme Court, William Rehnquist and Sandra Day O’Connor were engaged in a different type of courtship. The two grew close while attending Stanford Law School — they regularly shared notes and eventually became a...

Brooks at 3B and Mark Belanger at SS were maybe the best defensive left side of an infield of their time. Orioles used to do their Spring training in Miami at the old Bobby Maduro Miami Stadium from 1959-89.

Really can't say "too soon" as he was 87 but Billy Friedkin died. From the Chicago slums to the heights of Hollywood. Director of The French Connection, The Exorcist and many more films.

This was a SNL I really enjoyed: "(Sinead) proved her fearlessness again when, during a performance on “Saturday Night Live,” she held up a photo of Pope John Paul II that had hung on her mother’s bedroom wall, tore it up and exclaimed, “Fight the real enemy,” which she intended as a protest...

Check out her cover version of Elton John's "Sacrifice," another nice ballad by Sinead.

Didn't ex-Browns RB Peyton Hillis, another Arky guy, almost drown from a rip current off Pensacola recently? Saving his kids?

Yeah, he was revealed as sort of a conniving politician at heart but ... even hardheaded Bosch had to agree he was often more correct than not in his "big picture' assessments/decisions. For anyone openly upwardly mobile in the LAPD, the politics involved were truly a jungle to navigate. Made...

Lance Reddick. Great actor who really almost did not have to speak. He acted with that intimidating glare and steely eyes. Lt. Daniels on The Wire, Chief Irving on Bosch were my fave roles of his.
