The dog who played “Duke” from the Bush Beans commercial, of cancer. His name was Sam. (OK, OK, I’m a dog person.)
Ed Shultz, who tried to be a left-wing version of Rush Limbaugh, dead at 64.
didn't he end up on RT or Sputnik as a Russian apologist?

Not sure why but I used to read his pieces regularly.“There is a feeling in this country — apparent in the often condescending, dismissive way Detroit’s automobile companies have been treated on Capitol Hill — that people who work with their hands and the companies that employ them are inferior to those who work with their minds and plow profit from information"

Ah man. He was one of the early guys I remember from the NHL.I googled the NHL on U.S. TV and came up with this: CBS first broadcast National Hockey League games for four seasons from 1956–1960.I remember watchin' games but I can't remember the channel. It had to be a national broadcast because Pittsburgh didn't have an NHL team til the late 60s.

RIP. I'm staying off social media when her death happens. I don't need the endless streams of tributes, obits and other things.
I figure a lot of the tributes will include more chances to hear her music. So I consider that a plus.
