I love Lawrence, too. I miss Keith, but Lawrence has a certain appeal. If Dudley Do-right were a socialist he'd be like Lawrence,  clean and upright and on the side of the people.

Dear Facebook,

Okay, now I'm impressed.

Wolf Blitzer: "What's next? Where do you see this movement spreading next?"

Wael Ghonim: "Ask Facebook."

Wolf: "What?"

Wael: "Ask Facebook."

A week ago on Friday in Tahrir Square Christians formed a human barricade several lines deep to protect the Muslims as they prayed. A few days later on Sunday, as Christians celebrated mass in the Square, Muslims formed a protective circle around them. I saw it in Cass' Camera.

Who could have seen this happening? Who knew that desperate, struggling, oppressed people could use social media to organize and unite in this way and change things?

"The internet is HUGE."

Oh yeah, that's right: All them zeros and ones. Thanks, John.

Chuck Tanner, the relentlessly upbeat manager who led the ''We Are Family'' Pittsburgh Pirates in 1979 to one of the greatest comebacks in World Series history, died Friday after a long illness. He was 82.

He died at his home in his hometown of New Castle, Pa., where he had been in hospice care.

''In baseball, we will remember his eternal optimism and his passion for the game,'' Tanner's son, Bruce, said in a statement.

Renowned for his never-wavering confidence and an inherent belief that no deficit was too large to overcome, Tanner managed the White Sox, Athletics, Pirates and Braves to a record of 1,352-1,381 from 1970-88. He won one division title and finished second five times.

''It's hard to win a pennant,'' Tanner once said, ''but it's harder to lose one.''

RIP  :(

Betty Garrett--Mrs Lorenzo from All in the Family Archie's next door neighbor and fellow worker on the loading dock. She actually had an interesting career and life. She was an upcoming starlet in the 40s and co-starred in a musical w/ Sinatra.
But then the inquistion McCarthy era began in the 50s and because of her liasion w/ Al Jolson who admitted to Congress he had been or was a communist she was blacklisted. Figures Norman Lear would be the first to give her a job. She also went on to be a regular on Laverne & Shirley.

George Shearing--really? do I have to tell you who this is? There is a whole chapter devoted to George in Kerouac's On the Road when Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty (Kerouac and Neal Cassady) go to a Shearing concert at Birdland in NYC.

Len Lesser--Uncle Leo from Seinfeld "Helllllloooooo!"

Cassie, are you on sabbatical? Taking a sick day to shovel snow? Not down south, you must be watching first crocuses bursting through.
Anyways, winter or summer, this place is yours. Sometimes it's an empty nest, though the kids come back - for the holidays and weddings, to cry on your shoulder or for a bite of Mom's pastry. Stays warm, here.
Do no harm

Suze Rotolo, RIP

Suze Rotolo, 67, who became widely known for her romance with Bob Dylan in the early 1960s, strongly influenced his early songwriting and, in one of the decade's signature images, walked with him arm-in-arm for the cover photo of his breakthrough album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, died of lung cancer on Feb. 25 in New York. Her interest in theater and art exposed him to ideas and artists beyond the world of music.    :(
