The only WW2 African American to receive a medal of honor - from Bill Clinton. I remember Mr. Baker cried that day.

4. Well on Monday I asked if Cheney was still in hospital
The silence from the Cheney basement was deafening so I knew something was up. I was googling about Cheney all weekend.

3. It was all over the news yesterday, one day after his death. As much as I dislike MSM, you're being
ridiculous to suggest that it wasn't reported, unless somehow only infotainment sources are your cup of tea. It was all over local news, as well as a quick google search of his name and yesterday's date shows dozens of high profile newsources with announcements of his death and detailed history.

6. Of course there is, why wouldn't there be? Steinbrenner is way more of a public face.
