Mitch Hedberg: 1968-2005 One of the funniest comedians ever. A true original even if in the vein of Steven Wright's style of non-sequitur observational comedy. I'm truly bummed that he passed away. News article... click HERE
Johnnie Cochran: 1937-2005 - Not since Harriet Tubman has a person led more black people to freedom. Do you think that when Cochran get to (ahem) Heaven he'll run into Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman and have a really fucking awkward moment?
Terry Schiavo: 1963-2005 - A normal brain looks like a cauliflower, her brain looked like a cauliflower left in the sun for a week. She didn't have any idea what was going on. I'm guessing the doctors that stated that Schiavo's responses to outside stumuli were somewhat random brain synapses and not true awareness of the world around her were probably right. She had the Bushes on her side, claiming that all life is precious. Doesn't Texas and Florida have and exercise with regularity the death penalty? Didn't Jeb Bush used to brag about "Old Sparky," Florida's loveable and sometimes malfunctioning electric chair? They should have just froze Terri and postponed all of the drama to a later time. Cloned her... do something.
It's come to my attention that the greatest thing I ever wrote has become pertinent to my life again: The Breakup Column
