J.D. Salinger   DEAD!
He will never die.

Factoid: In Shoeless Joe, the Kinsella novel that was made into Field of Dreams J.D. Salinger is the writer that Ray brings back to the cornfield/diamond. James Earl Jones played him in the movie, but I don't remember what they called him. Pretty good movie. Better book.

Rep. John Murtha dead at 77...

WOW!...I was NOT a fan, but it still saddens me... :no:

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressman John P. Murtha died Monday at 1:18 p.m. at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA.

At his bedside was his family.

Murtha, 77, was Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.

First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in February of 1974, Murtha dedicated his life to serving his country both in the military and in the halls of Congress. A former Marine, he became the first Vietnam War combat Veteran elected to the U.S. Congress.

This past Saturday, Murtha became Pennsylvania's longest serving Member of Congress.

Sorry, but I preferred; my 'sca' 'ro' 'tum' as the fill for the tune.
