I feel kind of stupid.

Or at least left out of the news loop. I did not know that Tony Snow died until I got home from work earlier and saw it on DU. Of course I was as busy as a man can be (on a friggin' Saturday no less) and did not get much of a chance to get any news. So thanks again DU, this place is essential. And RIP Tony Snow. I know he was a neocon and all that, but he was only 53 yrs. old, three years older than me. And it just ain't cool to die of cancer ever, especially at 53.

1. I just found out as well N/T

[papapi]

2. I've known all day, but just haven't seemed able to respond . . .

about it 'til now. I'm 54 and when people like Russert and Snow die at these ages, it scares the shit outta me.

R.I.P. Tony Snow. You'll have a lot of explaining to do when you get there.

personal crisis.

4. Sadly, the way he served

his country was less admirable.

5. Very true.

As a cancer survivor I know it's not easy to go on each day.

6. I got the news today that one of my cousins who was in his 50s passed

away late last week from cancer as well. He had been fighting stage 4 lung cancer for a while. Way too young. He leaves behind a wife and 2 sons.
