BBC Newsreader (and more) Richard Baker will always be the voice of the news for me. When I read the news on the BBC, I hear it in his voice. He was 93. I was surprised by that. Guess I'm old too

Stephen Hillenburg, cartoonist, animator, marine biologist, teacher, also creator, producer, director, and writer of Spongebob Squarepants died yesterday, at 57, from complications from ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's Disease.

He also worked on Rocko's Modern Life.

If you care anything about magic watch the documentary Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay. It's not a magic show. It's a show about Jay and other magicians. Very good.

No fish.

I couldn't agree more about the movie.

There is magic in it though. But it's not a magic show. Highest recommendation.

Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci (Last Tango in Paris, 1900, The Last Emperor) died on Nov 26.

Cancer got him at 77.

George H.W. Bush.

I’m having trouble picturing a Republican who’d sign the ADA today. Safe flight Poppy.

Of all the George Bushes, H.W. was my favorite.

Funny, all I remember is the negative reporting condemning GHWB.

Apparently, the only good Republican is a dead (or turncoat) Republican to some people.

glatt · 12-02-2018, 11:14 AM

Yeah I thought he was deserving of criticism back in the day until I saw the types of Republicans who followed him. He's a fucking saint on comparison.

Gravdigr · 12-02-2018, 05:06 PM

Politics aside, he was kinda a badass. Combat pilot, CIA director, vice pres, pres...

xoxoxoBruce · 12-02-2018, 11:12 PM

Like Putin.

Prime example of the Overton window. If your successors are bad enough, people will look back on you fondly.

Trump is the best thing to happen to Nixon's legacy since G.W. Bush.
