calimary's JournalAwww, shit. Loved him.
Aw shit. Sad news. Wonderful comedic actor. Such a nice man. A thoughtful man. Deep. I had a chance to interview him awhile after she'd died. I felt like I really needed to take some extremely delicate care about it. It was clear he was still grieving. They really loved each other.
He was such a good husband to Gilda Radner. Yeah, RockaFowler, that's exactly what I thought the moment I heard. He's with his beloved Gilda now.
I just told my husband and that was his reaction too. "That means he's back with Gilda again."
Perhaps she merely interprets all that as confirmation that she's somehow causing them pain.
"Oh I see I've hit a nerve! (MEEEOOOOWWW!!!!!)" And of course she'd be totally justified 
in believing that. 
Too many on her side of the aisle willfully (or maybe they're just that ignorant) interpret things that way when they earn heat from the left and other fellow normal people who inhabit this weird thing called reality. Either that or they'll go to any twisted upside-down extremes to avoid facing the truth behind that heat.
He strongly reminds me of the comedian/writer/producer Bob Zmuda
from the old "Comic Relief" days. Put bangs over his forehead, a less carefully-manicured beard, and another 150 pounds around his middle and he'd be a dead ringer.
Got it! Thanks!
Actually, I didn't have too much problem reading it. But I like keeping copies of these things. Sometimes, I like printing them out. When the contents are pure gold like these are, I don't want anyone to miss a single word.
And extra thanks to 66 dmhlt!
I think it was our own Skittles who commented
"someone's always here."
There'll almost always be somebody, at any time of day or night, in some time zone somewhere, who's present. With open ears, open heart, and strong shoulders.
Welcome to DU, izzybella!
I wonder about that, myself. Could she sue? This could well be argued as slander - it's spoken. As opposed to libel which is written. (Simplified definitions.) But then again, she's a public figure and I don't know all the dynamics involved. I was about to say I thought maybe because she's a public figure she can't sue, but I remember when Carol Burnett sued the National Enquirer and won a ton. And Gawker just went under because they were sued over a Hulk Hogan video they ran with.
MAN you can say that again, my friend.
I wasn't there when she died, but I got to the hospital a few minutes later. However, she was pretty much gone several days before, when she took quite a radical turn for the worse. We all knew it was just a matter of time, so I can remember feeling more of a sense of relief, and release, that night, right after it happened. It had been a very long and miserable downward spiral for her.
I will say it was a jolt to walk down the long hall of the hospital ward til I reached her room, and the door was closed. Every other door all the way up and down the hall was always open so the nurses could come in and out. Hers too, at least til that night. That alone gave it a real sense of finality.
My deepest sympathy to John Fugelsang and his family.
Oh totally! I have a dog myself and we would never hit her.
We like positive reinforcement of the good behavior rather than the punishing of the bad. It works a lot better and saves a TON of grief.
And it's just plain nicer, anyway. That's how we did it with our kids, too. Encourage, reward, reinforce the GOOD behavior rather than punishing the bad. It just spawns more negativity to opt for the punishment option.
I wouldn't weep if Andrea Mitchell suddenly were fired, demoted, or retired.
We could survive nicely without her and her deep-down and sometimes not so subtle Hillary hatred.
