    Reading about Armstrong, I don't think he did anything for accolades or attention. The astronauts were told that the trip to the Moon could, if they survived, take years off the end of their lives from the radiation they would be exposed to. Armstrong was a man of science and understood the...

    What's too bad? He lived a long and accomplished life.

    What an awesome life. Going into space with the radiation shielding they had probably shortened their lives. Still worth it.

    He outlasted William F. Buckley and got the last word in.

    I feel decidedly mixed when folks pushing recreation to its extremes meet their ends. Its a tough call as to what constitutes reasonable level of risks. I think if you have young kids that need you, you should cool it a bit. At some point searching for the next big thrill becomes a tad...

    Perhaps, for a lot of folks, Whitney Houston represents others that they have lost to addiction, the loss of innocence and the loss of potential. I was never a fan but I think what happened to her was sad.

    What a shame, she seemed to be cleaning up her act. I know they had her obit written a long time ago but it would have been nice to keep it on ice longer.

    Sounds like a good guy, glad you got to meet him and work for him. Good bosses are a blessing.

    The man was about more than winning football games and he did report what happened to the athletic director and the head of the University. I am not saying he should have lost his job or anything, just that he helped a lot of people in his days as coach. He was greatly loved by all the...

    Everyone makes mistakes. I am certain he did more good than bad.

    Why be sad, he's gone to a better... Oh never mind. I appreciated his thoughts if not his in your face style.

    A trial would have been entertaining but sometimes rough justice helps a country move on. Killing him doesn't speak well of the rebels' control over soldiers. Cooler heads were yelling "We need him alive," to no avail.

    It's funny to me that folks are wondering if Apple can succeed without Steve Jobs and will now be wondering if The Raiders will start to win without Al Davis. I grew up a Raiders fan and while I appreciate what Al Davis built up, I'll never forgive the man for taking the team away or sitting on...

    I hope your wife is OK Jesse, finding a loved one dead is never fun even if it isn't a total surprise.

    That sucks. Upping the ante in the Afghan War is one of my chief complaints about Obama. He should have adopted Biden's plan to draw down more heavily and just use the occasional attack to keep the Taliban in disarray.
