13908 ª January 16 1:58 PM. World’s Smallest [Libertarian-centric] Political Quiz… Nothing earth-shattering. It’s short, thought-provoking, and a tad biased. Or maybe it isn’t and I’m just chafing at being called an Authoritarian (neither Fascist, nor a Communist… somewhere in between).

I just found out that

I just found out that my friend Tom De Martini died of cancer last night in Casper, WY. He was in a lot of pain for the last few months.

Tom grew up in New Jersey, but spent a lot of time in Louisiana before moving to Los Angeles and eventually settling in Casper. He was a screenwriter, director, and businessman as well as an expert Cajun chef. He often worked with character actor John O’Leary and got involved in some nasty politics in Louisiana after making some TV ads for the former governor.

Mix-up has plaque honoring accused MLK killer instead of black actor

LAUDERHILL, FL — The plaque stated, “Thank you James Earl Ray for keeping the dream alive.” But the name should have been “James Earl Jones,” the Tony Award-winning actor and voice of Star Wars’ Darth Vader, The Lion King’s Mufasa and CNN.

The plaque was intended as a gift from the city of Lauderhill to Jones, who will be the featured speaker at the city’s annual Martin Luther King celebration Saturday. James Earl Ray shot and killed King in 1968.

I realize one thing missing from Radio Userland weblogs is there’s no place to comment on entries or add a discussion, as it was possible to do on EditThisPage.com. That’s also one of the features I really like about LiveJournal.
