RIP Roger

I remember him arguing a lot with Gene Siskel and thought they hated each other. Then I saw them on Dave Letterman years ago and realized that they really were friends, they just disagreed at times.

Surely you are not implying we are all friends in here?

I believe I am! :-D

Of course some of us are just closer friends than others....

No kidding. The freep made sure to post a pic of him with what looked like half of his jaw removed. That is not how I choose to remember him.

Britain's "iron lady" Margaret Thatcher dies
Margaret Thatcher, the former U.K. prime minister who helped end the Cold War and was known as the “Iron Lady” for her uncompromising style, has died. She was 87. “She had a stroke and died peacefully,” her spokesman, Tim Bell, told Sky News television today. “We’ll never see the like of her again. She was one of the great prime ministers of all times. "

[Malto Marko]

Yes she was.

RIP Maggie.

Brezhnev took Afghanistan,
Behgan took Beruit
Galtieri took the Union Jack
And Maggie, over lunch one day,
took a cruiser, with all hands,
Apparently to make him give it back
What have we done, Maggie what have we done.....
- Roger Waters

She was iconic. RIP

......boy, are we getting old or what?

Annette Funicello -- the undisputed queen of the "Mickey Mouse Club" -- has died, according to Disney's official fan club Twitter. She was 70.

Funicello was a triple threat -- Mouseketeer, pop singer and bigscreen star. She was huge in the 60's with movies like "Beach Party" and "Beach Blanket Bingo."

According to "Extra," Annette had been hospitalized in Bakersfield due to complications from multiple sclerosis and had been in a coma for years.

Funicello disclosed in 1992 that she suffered from multiple sclerosis. She lost the ability to walk in 2004, could no longer speak by 2009 and required round-the-clock care.
