I hope they roll him up in a poppin' fresh crescent roll with a big old slice of American cheese. Then he'll be a longpig in a blanket.

Walter Cronkite is dead at 92. IMO, the last of a breed that we will never see again in our skills bereft, be-pretty-or-be-unemployed TV media.

Uncle Walter was a journalist first and a television personality second. His reporting carried a gravitas that cannot be denied. His reaction to the news of the successful moon landing was so incredibly human and honest that the image will never be erased from my mind.

Although he hadn't been seen regularly on TV for a couple of decades, he will be forever missed.

He was far and away THE VERY BEST journalist in television history.
RIP, Walter.

As was his reaction when announcing the death of President Kennedy.

RIP Mr Cronkite. You were the best.

Sir Bobby Robson has died today,at the age of 76.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8177945.stm

In an age where British football is increasingly mercenary and petulant,he stood out for the old school where loyalty and dignity and sportmanship were qualities to be admired. The British game has lost one of its senior statesmen,and the northeast of England mourns the passing of one of their heroes.

Well damn, my teenage years are disappearing.

Writer and Director John Hughes, director of The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and many more, dead at 59.

I second that, shawnee.

Don't ask for whom the bell tolls and all that.

Just heard this on the news.
Damn.
RIP and all that, John Hughes. Too young to die.

He gave my my first female crushes (Ally Sheedy and Molly Ringwald).
I still say "vodka" the same way Sheedy did in The Breakfast Club.
