Tim Russert was a man of intellect and objectivity, and he made it his goal in life to make sure that the American people heard the truth. I don’t think there is a soul out there who would argue that he didn’t succeed.

I cannot imagine a presidential election without him. I remember Tim back in the 2000 presidential election. It was about 1 a.m. as I recall when he took out his trademark white board and began to break down the numbers. With all the fancy maps and electronic equipment available, he was able to expain the situation best with nothing more than a marker and white board.

Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Tim Russert. Although, Tim was the kind of public figure you felt was your friend, even though you never really met him.

Rest in Peace, Tim. You will be truly missed.

Timothy J. Russert

I pray to God he now does it for the publicity and attention and not because he actually thinks he’s talented. Or attractive. Or both.

Snoop Dogg announces he is going to pen a series of “urban themed” children’s books. The series will be illustrated by Snoop’s cousin, Joe Cool. The series, called “Where’s the Cheese?”, will follow Lil’ Mouse in her quest to…find the cheese.

Perhaps the bigger story here is not that is he writing children’s books, but that he can write, period. I’m sorry, but this man makes Flava Flav look like a class act.

Graziano’s guardian has filed a civil lawsuit claiming that Terry (aka Hulk Hogan), Linda and Nick Bollea were “negligent in the events leading up to the crash that severely injured Graziano.”  As a result of the accident, a portion of Graziano’s frontal brain lobe was removed, and he will need constant care for the rest of his life.  The suit will likely run into millions of dollars, and any money gained will be placed in a special trust fund for Graziano’s care.

Daniel Jacobs, the driver of the car Nick Bollela was racing, was also named in the suit.  Jacobs pleaded no contest to a charge of reckless driving.  Bollea faces several felony charges as a result of the tragic crash.
