Another Death.  The guy who used to play George Jefferson on the Jeffersons has died.

HE moved on up.....

Movin' on up.
To the Eastside.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.

He was Archie Bunker's neighbor before he moved to the Eastside   ....  RIP

Should we start naming people that died in 2012?

From the Jack Diamond facebook page:

 If you know the songs "Still the One" and "Dance With Me", then you know Larry Hoppen. He sang lead on those songs with "Orleans", the band he formed with John Hall. Sadly, another loss to the world of music and entertainment, Larry has passed at the terribly young age of 61. Larry and John Hall were on our show a few years ago and sang all of Orleans' hits and they were amazing together. Larry was a down to earth, truly nice guy. Even out as "Orleans" without John, he knocked it out of the park every time. Rest in peace, Larry. You are Still the One, buddy.

I think the reason he started the Washington Times was to secretly lure fishermen into his cult.  You start reading what you wrap your fish in, and bam, you are off to a 10,000 couple wedding.

He was in Taledega Nights, which, I'm ashamed to admit, is one of my go-to movies when I've had a hard week.

RIP, big guy.

Very sad.  Hopefully this will inspire a lot of at-risk folks to get their tickers checked.

Holy crap, I had no idea Moon died last month. Wow. Wow. He was a lunatic you'd thought would live forever as old as he was.

Do the Moonies still hold their annual mass marriages he used to officiate at RFK? Haven't heard about them since I was a kid, so I'm guessing not.

Reading an extraordinarily long article on Moon. Holy crap.

Quote
Some of the members of Congress said they had no idea that Mr. Moon was to be involved in the banquet, though it was hosted by the Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace, a foundation affiliated with the Unification Church.

At the banquet, Mr. Moon said emperors, kings and presidents had "declared to all heaven and earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's savior, messiah, returning lord and true parent."

He added that the founders of the world's great religions, along with figures like Marx, Lenin, Hitler and Stalin, had "found strength in my teachings, mended their ways and been reborn as new persons."

Hitler is a Moonie. Whee.

The most insane of all, coming from an agnostic.

Quote
In the church's view, Jesus had failed in his mission to purify mankind because he was crucified before being able to marry and have children. Mr. Moon saw himself as completing the unfulfilled task of Jesus: to restore humankind to a state of perfection by producing sinless children, and by blessing couples who would produce them.

Again, Whee. I missed the part in the Bible where God made Man was supposed to have sex with a woman, A. Diluting a divine blood with Original Sin, ignoring His entire purpose of sacrificing Himself to offer atonement for mortal sin. and B. Being insane.

But hey, I'm still enjoying the idea of Hitler as a Moonie.
