kenberg Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I just turned on the Newshour a bit ago. We had been wondering what was going on with her recently. Apparently PBS is giving over the full hour, or atleast a large part of it, to honoring her. This is fully deserved. She is one of the few in the television news industry that I unequivocally admire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenberg Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Ralph Branca I had forgotten the name, I gather he would have been fine with that, but I remember the 1951 streak for the Giants. As I recall, they were 13 games behind the Dodgers, nearing the end of the season, and then started moving up. Being a small town boy I was more interested in the Saints (Dodger farm club) and the Millers (Giant farm club) but the ever narrowing gap got my attention.

gordontd Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Fidel CastroI'm off to Cuba in two weeks. Just got our visas, which is as well since the embassy may close for a while. It's the only place I've ever been where they don't accept cash, cheques or credit cards - postal orders only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonottawa Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 You're not that dumb, stop trolling. Read the thread.I have no idea what that means. Read the thread? This is a thread where we post about people who have died, in order to commemorate their deaths in a small way, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenberg Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Jon, you put people in a most difficult position. I do not, I very much do not, want this thread to become a back and forth for your political arguments. I will make this one response here, and one only. It is an obscenity to use this thread to push your political views. That's it. You can understand that or you cannot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'm not a Fidel Castro fan by any means but he had a moment or two. When the USA rallied behind the Cubans washing up on Florida shores, he emptied his insane asylums and more notorious prisons and sent them over. Probably some low level guy that thought that up but I thought it was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an obscenity to use this thread to push your political views. That's it. You can understand that or you cannot.A young girl was murdered. Somebody's daughter. Somebody's sister? By all accounts a lovely young woman. I chose to remember that. I didn't say a WORD to 'push my political views.' Name, link (imbedded in the name,) picture. Out of respect for someone who died far too soon. That's it. You can understand (and respect) that or you cannot. I find it appalling that some people cannot.

Yes but this thread is not really for that, it's for people who either were or should have been famous for their lives, not their deaths. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
