On A Pale Horse

One of my least favorite traits in people is the name dropping, glomming on to friends of famous friends to get a chance to schmooze with celebrities. If you had enough talent, skills or personality you could be a true friend/associate rather then using a family member or friend. I've ran into a few people like this in my life, too bad, such a waste of sperm.

I know the story is that Patricia Kennedy's' brother, John F., introduced her to her husband Peter Lawford but I think that this introduction was a way to solidify his connection to the Rat Pack and closer to his alleged mistress Marilyn Monroe. But maybe that's my imagination working overtime. I've been accused of that before.

She worked with her brothers, John, Robert & Edwards political campaigns. After her divorce from Peter in 1965 she moved to New York and worked with the Committee of Literary Arts, the Kennedy Library and the National Center of Addiction.

She passed away due to complications of pneumonia.

My favorite thing to watch nowadays (besides bad amateur porn) is the Game Show Network. I love it when they show all the cheesy 1970’s B&C list celebrities spouting off answers to inane questions. I know, I know, there are still many celeb’s doing the same thing but they’re not quite the caliber as Paul Lynde, Rose Marie, Charles Nelson Reily & Mr Nipsy Russell.

I don’t want to remember Mr. Russell for his performance in ‘The Wiz’ but for his poetic answers to such questions as ‘Mary, Mary Quite Contrary couldn't make her garden grow with water, so she used *blank* instead (courtesy of IMDB) and in ‘Car 54, Where Are You?’ & ‘Wild Cats’.

Mr. Russell passed away from stomach cancer.

I'm not overly political.
I bitch about the government but I 've never done anything about it.
People actually do stuff in life that counts for something. Bill did. He went through law school was nominated to Supreme Court in 1971 by Nixon and was elevated to chief Justice by Reagan in 1986.
Justice Rehnquist passed away at age 80 on September 3rd from complications of thyroid cancer. The Death Pool fanatics kept an eye on this guy especially since his appearance at G Dubba's inauguration in January.

RIP
