Death Watch 2005: Former Senator Eugene McCarthy and Richard Pryor died today. Two very different men, yet both controversial in their own ways. They definitely made life richer for those who loved them. I remember once, George Carlin was discussing Richard Pryor. He said that Richard had had a heart attack, so he (George) had a heart attack. Then Richard set himself on fire. So George... had another heart attack.

Sorry about the Death Watch bit. As I was typing it, I pictured Les Nessman with his giant gong, detailing the death of a prominent businessman on WKRP in Cincinnati. Funny how things stick with you over the years.
