1. Seriesly?!1 It's not one of his horrible deeds? (not a hoax?) n/t

[LynneSin]

3. If he thinks his life will be celebrated the way we have with Whitney Houston or Davy Jones...

the guy must be kidding.

Houston and Jones brought alot of joy to this world.

2. Oh, I heard.

I won't miss him, but I heard.

4. Oh, darn.

[Liberal Veteran]

5. I am deeply grieved to hear of the passing....

...of Davy Jones. He will be missed.

My grief for Breitbart cannot be measured, if you get my meaning.

9. That's a joke, right?

I can't really tell.

10. Joke? No.

Not for Breitbart. I'd do the same for Limbaugh. If you're "better than that," good for you. I'm not.

8. Holy weird coincidences, Batman!

OK, so I know who Breitbart is but I never paid any attention to him nor do I know what all he said but I gather he was not the type of commentator I would agree with on anything. I know my Tea Party office-mate is bummed and even though he is a Republican, my office mate is my friend so I won't go researching what all AB said...I do remember the video of him yelling at OWSers or something so I know I'm not on his side in anything but I do like my friend so I'll just withhold comment on all that.

However, it struck me as very weird that just as I was opening this thread to see what I missed by hanging out mostly here, the next song that came up in the rotation on my music server here at work was King Crimson's "The Great Deceiver" from the Starless and Bible Black album.

!?!?!

Winamp reading our threads!
