Paul Newman, you were a mensch!
Thanks for all the amazing movies, of course.

Thanks for incorporating your principles into all aspect of your life(your film career, your activism, and your businesses-BTW, I'm gonna buy more of your salad dressing and spaghetti sauce tonight).

Thanks for being tough enough to stand up against the insanity in Vietnam and the insanity that was Richard Nixon. If things had gotten just a little worse in the Seventies, the Big Dick would probably have sent you to a camp along with the rest of the "enemies".

Thanks for showing us all how to handle fame well, how to have integrity in your work, and how to live and die like a true macher.

We'll miss you, Paul.

And G-ddamnit, we're gonna WIN this one for you.

NEVER GIVE AN INCH!





(And on the day after the election, I'd like to picture Paul's spirit returning to Earth, invading the Oval Office, and chainsawing Dubbikins' desk).

3. A life, well lived.
A true success in all aspects of his life...his careers, his politics, his businesses, in his public and private life.

Thank You, Paul!
