It's really weird if you consider Terry McAuliffe's gaffe from a couple of weeks ago about "Big Russ" being in heaven.

Apparent heart attack. Too bad, really, I could have gone on watching him for a few more years. Good delivery.

Not to be disrespectful of the deceased...but he threw out his fair share of softballs when interviewing big names like his golf buddy Dick Cheney. Nevertheless...he was influential in his field...

How are we going to make it thru the November election without his little whiteboard saying "Florida, Florida, Florida?"

What a tragic loss.

WOW. Unbelievable.


Death haunted me yesterday. I got home early to meet a contractor who was installing a new storm door. I walk up to my house and there's 4 police cars and a van there... the lady at the end of the row had passed away from heat exhaustion. Right as I walked up they were carrying her body out.


And... I pass through a huge cemetery every day on the 66 bus. I'm wiggin' out here!
