Newsbusters.org and Brent Bozell have announced that Noel Sheppard, their associate editor has passed.

Our Noel Sheppard passed away yesterday (Friday) morning at about 5:00 AM. Say a prayer for the soul of a man we'll all miss professionally, and many, many of us will miss personally as well. Noel was not just a force of nature, he was a very good man.
How quickly this all happened. Just two months ago, Noel wrote about suddenly getting cancer at 53 called "Cancer's Ray of Hope." Nine days ago, he wrote us and said he was interested in writing about his "progress" -- and he put "progress" in quotes. We were all wishing for better news, and really couldn't imagine this was a battle that would end this way.

Noel joined us and was introduced to us by Matt Sheffield at the founding of NewsBusters in 2005, and he became our Associate Editor. It must be said that no blogger here was more prolific and more popular. We'll have more to say in the coming days.

Requiescat in pace.

I had my disagreements with him many times, but he was always efficient in getting his viewpoints across.

May his family find peace in this time of loss.

I made this comment on a far right message board and got nothing but flack for it.

Too many guns fall into the wrong hands. Adding more guns to the mix isn't the answer.
Gun owners have to be more responsible for the locking up and securing of their firearms. Leaving it behind a door or on a wall just doesn't cut it.

Jay Morris is a Teahadi member running for Rodney Alexander's former seat in Louisiana District 5.

I don't live in LA-5, but where I get most of my local TV channels, Alexandria, LA, is in LA-5.
