Trump giving him that medal at the last SOTU address was the ultimate liberal bitch slap, IMO. I thought when that happened..."Man, that is MAJOR balls!". I think Mark Steyn would do great as a replacement...he makes fun of a lot of stuff but if he were doing it on a daily basis I think he'd get a bit more serious.
Boxing Legend Marvelous Marvin Hagler dead at 66.

I remember the fight he had with Sugar Ray Leonard...I was rooting for Leonard but when the fight was over I figured Hagler won it...but of course, he didn't. It's a "matter of opinion", but that fight showed me that the best man doesn't always win. I think it's when I truly understood that the corruption I'd heard about in boxing actually existed. I remember professional boxing being put back on it's heels a bit after that...but then Mike Tyson showed up and saved it by just clobbering the shit out of everybody.
The Queen's Consort, Prince Philip (aka Phil the Greek) has left the building just two months short of his 100th birthday.
Despite me not liking him much, I did like the way he wasn't frightened to say what he thought, despite putting his foot in it once in a while :facepalm1:

A very humbling interview:

Only Buzz left!
I have to confess that in Collins' position, I'd be really pissed off by being only 50 miles from the moon but not landing there.
Equally as brave an explorer as Armstrong and Aldrin and those that went before.
Read Michael Collins book "Carrying the Fire", it's a great read if you like that type of stuff.
His greatest fear was what if Neil and Buzz had a problem and could not rendezvous with the command module and he had to return alone. How hard would it be to abandon them? How would he deal with it?
FWIW - The Apollo 11 crew only gave their mission a 50% chance of success. All those astronauts had huge bass balls.
Anyhoo... food for thought.

Robert Marchand, who holds the hour record in both the over-100 and over-105 categories, has died. He was 109.
Most of you may not know or care who this guy is, but he was pretty inspiring. Especially at that age. He was a legend in his own right in the cycling world.
Mark Eaton, NBA All-Star center for the Utah Jazz is dead at the young age of 64.
