More likely the cancer came down with stage 4 Limbaugh.

This is a tragic loss! Think of all the tax revenue the IRS won't be getting in the future!

On second thought, high income frequently does not equate to high taxes paid... maybe not such a great loss.

This is rather strange. I'm wondering why his family filed a missing person report...I'm assuming he hadn't been in contact with anyone for a while. What caused that? Does it have anything to do with his death? Too many questions on this one. RIP bro.

You already did, though.

When someone makes a career out of hate, it's not going to be a shock when people wave goodbye at the end.

He was just as bad back then.

I won't celebrate his death but the world is a better place without him in it.

Don't you speak falsely of Jamaica. He was busted smuggling Viagra from the Dominican Republic.

Just Wow! Your hypocrisy is stunning. If a famous person from the left died and some of us posted attack trash like this, you'd be outraged. I can hear it now, "He hasn't even been dead for 1 day and you're attacking him! Have you no shame? Can't you keep your politics out of it? Let his family at least bury him first, etc., etc., etc."

It was recommended to me in another thread that I should stop listening to certain media outlets that support conservative thinking. I'm going to suggest that all of you need to stop listening to the garbage spewed by the main stream media and actually consider listening to the other side too!

I don't agree with everything Rush ever said. That is true of any conservative host or politician. He had his (sometimes major) flaws. He was not a perfect person. But, I guess many of you must be based on your personal attacks on him.

Here's what I wrote on another site as a proper RIP notice.

"Rush died yesterday. :(

He'd been fighting lung cancer for awhile now. The statement that his wife gave at the beginning of his show was excellent. I don't know how she kept from crying.

I heard him referred to yesterday as the Babe Ruth of broadcasting. I couldn't agree more. He was the greatest broadcaster of all time, like Ruth, he changed forever the way the game was played.

He made no bones about being a biased speaker for the conservative cause. He was not ashamed to be so.

He will be sorely missed."

A link might help, as it's on the 900th page of the Random thread.

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

Tony Hendra
Tony Hendra, the British satirist and comic whose roles included top editing positions at magazines such as National Lampoon and Spy and a part in musical mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap,” died on Thursday in Yonkers, N.Y. He was 79.

His wife, Carla Meisner, told the New York Times the cause of death was Lou Gehrig’s disease, which the writer was first diagnosed with in 2019.

He had my favorite line in Spinal Tap, where he was trying to downplay the band getting canceled in Boston. "It's not a big college town."

I knew this one was coming after his diagnosis last year, but it still sucks. Entombed frontman LG Petrov dies at 49 of bile duct cancer.

If you're not Ohioan, you probably forgot about this guy, but Michael Stanley of the Michael Stanley Band passed away this past weekend. He was our answer to Bruce Springsteen...but without the great lyrics. He even had a few moments of fame in the MTV days with Our Town, Lover and He Can't Love You.

He never did make it big outside the Cleveland area, but he would routinely sell out coliseums in our area. I ran into him in a bookstore in the mid 90s while I was working there as a clerk. Nice enough guy. He really did love Ohio.

Roger Mudd, legendary political reporter for CBS News, has died at 93

In the 70s when I was a little kid my grandparents always watched CBS and Walter Cronkite . I think I can still remember hearing Rogers end his segments with "I'm Roger Mudd"
Roger Mudd, the CBS newsman whose political reporting and substitute anchoring on "The CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite" made him a familiar and respected face to tens of millions of Americans in the 1960s and 1970s, died Tuesday of complications from kidney failure at his home in McLean, Virginia. He was 93.

Audio cassette tape inventor Lou Ottens dies aged 94
An estimated 100 billion cassette tapes have been sold around the world since they were introduced in the 1960s.

Ottens' invention transformed the way people listened to music, and there has even been a resurgence of the cassette in recent years.

The engineer died in his hometown of Duizel last weekend, his family announced on Tuesday.

Well shit fire! I loved that guy. That is too young. He always seemed fine. I had been reading up on what he has been up to lately too. Damn. RIP.
