RIP George Carlin

For the second time in two weeks a famous person has died of a heart attack. I will miss George Carlin's attitude and insightful wit. Rest in peace, my friend.

RIP Tim Russert

I just can't believe it! I was listening to Randi Rhodes on the radio--just now--and she announced that Tim Russert had a heart attack and died today. He was only 58. I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Russert speak at a women's conference a couple of years ago and he was warm and funny and real, just like he comes across on TV. My heart goes out to his family and colleagues. Sunday morning will never be the same without him on Meet The Press.

Vaya con Dios, Tim.
