Paul Newman

America has not only lost one of its finest actors, the world has lost one of its greatest men. Paul Newman's life both on and off screen knows no rivals. The fact that all of these achievements could be found in one man is truly amazing.

I loved so many of Mr. Newman's films. He played the kind of roles that many actors were afraid of. He didn't want to be instantly likable. His characters would dare you to like them, make you work at liking them. Every character had a past that began way before the story began on film.

Off screen, his charity through his food line and his camps was amazing. For almost 20 years the "Hole in the Wall" camp has given hope and joy to thousands of families. Mr. Newman has given so much to so many.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Hurricane Coverage Reax

I am not going to claim total victory, but the coverage went from: "We may see this storm strengthen up to a Cat 5..." to "Look what this strong Cat 2 has done to this stores awning and let get a shot of this garbage can rolling down the street." Thanks Geraldo.

Too much hype makes Jack a dull boy. Actually too much hype makes Jack not want to evacuate when a real hurricane comes because he's become callous to the steady stream of media exaggeration.
