Oh, crap. An old friend of the family just died. Heart-attack, at 57. Leaves a high-school senior daughter and a seven-year-old daughter behind, with his wife, who is a teacher.
He was an old-school progressive: a labor organizer and an activist all his life, marched in every anti-war protest, and for years every summer he organized a whitewater tubing trip in Yolo County for up to twenty people.
I last saw him by complete chance, about three years ago, where he was meeting with a union member in the coffee-shop in my building.
Damn. What a loss. He was one of the Good People.
The principal and his wife have the daughter *and* the adopted son? *And* he's now got a kid from some other chick, too?
Yeah. And am I nuts for thinking Naomi (I think that is her name) keeps reminding me of Elizabeth Berkley (and wasn't her stripper character names Naomi?)
And it took me more than half way through to do the DUH -
"Silver" is Kelly's little sis from the original show
.
I'm sorry, Consuela. What a loss for his young family.
And am I nuts for thinking Naomi (I think that is her name) keeps reminding me of Elizabeth Berkley
I kept thinking that, too.
Do we know who
the father of Kelly's son
is?
I'm sorry about your friend, Consuela.
If we do, Hil, I missed it.
I'm watching Perkins
I will be watching. I'm tivoing currently (it's on delay here due to baseball).
Consuela, I'm so sorry.
That's such a loss, Consuela. I'm so sorry for his family, and everyone who knew him.
Naomi/looks-like-Elizabeth-Berkley was also on Nip/Tuck for a while.
I don't know the answer to that either, Hil.
Naomi/looks-like-Elizabeth-Berkley was also on Nip/Tuck for a while.
Unfortunately she also acts like Elizabeth Berkley.
Okay, seriously? I promise I'll stop harping on this, but this shit is unreal.
Now apparently confirmed that the lobbyist (lobbyist? for a town of 8000?) Palin hired for Wasilla is tied to Abramhoff. Even I'm a little shocked at the guy's reach.
But even more disgusting is the sermon delivered at her church earlier this month by the head of Jews for Jesus, attributing terrorist attacks in Israel to the failure to convert to Christianity. I certainly wouldn't want to validate in any way the wringer Obama got put through over Wright, but seriously? (And yes, she was there, for whatever that means.)
Are they putting us on? This has to be a joke, right?
