Alex Trebek, host of TV's Jeopardy! with gray hair, clean-shaven face. — Alex Trebek, beloved Jeopardy host, dies.

This is just short and bittersweet. Alex Trebek, aged 80, has died after a heroic battle with pancreatic cancer. He kept up with hosting even through cancer treatments as an honor to others who suffered through cancer.

He will be missed as not just a tv icon, but a truly decent human being.
Sympathies to his family, his loved ones and all who invited him into our homes 5 days a week.

Did I say 2020 sucks? Yesterday seemed a rare bright spot in an otherwise shitty year.

I came across this story on CNN, and believe it should get more attention. It's about a boy, Ruben Martinez, who became fearful after the shootings, and his mom suggests he thinks about a way to help the community. He comes up with #ElPasoChallenge, where people pledge to do 22 random acts of kindness in honor of the 22 gunned down. He even helpfully suggests some simple acts of kindness! It is a wonderful challenge, and I pledge to take him up on it.

Read the story, get inspired, change the narrative from hate to kindness.

I came across this media bias survey in my face book feed (through a share to RAD Politics) and it is very therapeutic to complete the survey. Irony is lost on these incompetent fools in that they are using a worthless survey to prove that media is untrustworthy and generally has “fake news”.

It is time we put a stop to this GOP meme that unmarried women who use contraceptves by definition are sluts. After all, who exactly are they having sex with? And what derogatory name do we use for them?

I have been puzzled by the insistance of so many pundits, bloggers and campaigners to assure everyone that being a "regular" person makes them more acceptable. I understand the rationale behind it, most people view themselves as "regular" people, so by invoking that term, a campaign is aligning themselves with as many people as a single word can encompass.
I guess I am a regular person, but I have to wonder...

I have been avoiding the MSN like the plague since the Edward's affair has hit the airwaves. I knew it would be alot of handwringing, and sanctimonious blather about something that will have no long-lasting affect on the political process, the Democratic party, nor anyone except the Edwards' family and their close friends.
