Bernard Shaw was the guy who floored Mike Dukakis with the 'if your wife was raped and murdered' question in the '88 debate.

Marsha Hunt. You’ve probably never heard of her, but she was a well-known star in film noir and westerns in the 1940s and early 50s. Her film career got sidelined when she got blacklisted by the HUAC scumbags, but she stayed busy on TV and Broadway.

He was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma last year and knew his time was short. I liked reading his articles and he was genuinely a good dude.

The article he wrote back in March titled Does My Son Know You? made me tear up.

Dude was 34. Absolutely heartbreaking.

I knew about Franzia box long before I had ever heard of $2 chuck. We usually got a box of wine for house parties in college for people that didn't like beer or liquor, then it wouldn't get used and we'd run out of beer and finish it off with wine. It was awful.

Shutting down a Game 7 by getting out Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, Cecil Cooper, Ted Simmons, Ben Ogilvie and Gorman Thomas in order in the 8th and 9th inning is pretty damn epic.

He is only 67? That means I am now 4 years older than he was when Will and Grace started? I would have guessed he was in his 60s then.
