I really have to wonder if all these fine liberals and feminists would be quite so torn up and appreciative of the man’s GENIUS if the SOB had been molesting little girls instead of little boys.

I could have kept finding posts to link and fill in that linktastic sentence above, but I despaired.

Another great passes from the scene – Dave Arneson, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, has died.

Update: this is a nice testimonial from OOTS.

The actor Andy Hallett, who is best known for playing Lorne (the bar owner) in Joss Whedon’s “Angel”, has died at the age of 33 from heart failure.

I always liked Lorne. What a shame that the man who personified the character has passed so young. Hallett’s first acting job was playing Lorne, and he never acted again after “Angel” wound down – his life is something of a mystery.

H/T to Amp.

Colorado blogger Major Andrew Olmsted was killed in Iraq yesterday. A testimonial, his final words (left in the event of his death), and a moving memorial/comments thread at Obsidian Wings. His last post for the Rocky Mountain News is here.

RIP Major Olmsted.

Dan Fogelberg has died of prostate cancer at the age of 56.

It’s been many years since I listened to Dan’s music, but there was a time in my life when I enjoyed it very much. (I never stopped liking it, but he had such a long dry period that I just stopped.) He will be missed.

Get screened, kids.
