It Seems That Yesterday WAS A Good Day To Die

Sidney Sheldon dead at 89. This sounds awful, but I actually thought he'd already died. I could have sworn I read that somewhere. Anyway, cheers to man who gave us "I Dream of Jeannie" and some really gripping trashy novels. (My grandmother gave me Rage of Angels when I was, like, ten or twelve; if you've ever read it, you'll understand when I tell you that that was an incredibly ballsy move on her part. She kicks ass!)

Molly Ivins dead at 62. The brashy, sassy, kickass-y Texan liberal feminist had battled cancer for several years now and, unfortunately, finally succumbed. Ms. Ivins was a hilarious and biting writing/commentator and she will be sorely missed.
