We have lost another hero and role model.

SALLY RIDE (1951 - 2012): Astronaut and physicist Sally Ride died on July 23rd following a 17-month battle with cancer. Ride, who became the first American women in space in 1983 when she orbited Earth onboard space shuttle Challenger, was known for her courage, intelligence, and dedication to young scientists, especially girls. We add our condolences to those of NASA and many others over the loss of a true American original.

Thanks for posting this nasa. When I heard this on the news while driving home last night, I actually uttered "oh no" out loud.

We all have our hero's and she was one of mine.

Ride, Sally, ride.

PO

Gore Vidal, the elegant, acerbic all-around man of letters who presided with a certain relish over what he declared to be the end of American civilization, died on Tuesday at his home in the Hollywood Hills section of Los Angeles, where he moved in 2003, after years of living in Ravello, Italy. He was 86.

Glad your diatribe didn't have any purpose other than to slam Sean Hannity...

 

[RealMoneyIssues]

Now, now RMI...we having a bad few days?
Now I might slam Hannity, and Birch might slam "Odumbo".
But no one is taking personal shots at fellow members past few days here as much as you are.
Something amiss? Out of Keyopectate?

No pot shots, and definitely not personal, just pointing out the obvious.

Do you have a problem with the truth?

William Windom (Commodore Decker of the starship Constellation from the original Star Trek series) passed a few days ago. He was 88. He was in multiple other TV shows but his role as Commodore Decker is the one I remember him for the most. RIP, Mr. Windom.
