Conrad, Bean, RIP
Timothy Birdnow
Robert Conrad, star of Wild, Wild, West and Black Sheep Squadron, has passed away at age 84.
Conrad was becoming a big star until some blatantly anti-Semitic remarks (rightly) sunk his career.
I used to love Wild, Wild, West and own the box set. I suppose I'll have to dig it out and rewatch it.
In other celebrity deaths, actor Orson Bean was hit by a car and killed in Venice Ca. He was 91.
Bean, a staunch conservative, was the father-in-law of conservative icon Andrew Breitbart. Breitbart had liberal tendencies but his association with Bean led to his political awakening. So we have Bean to thank for all the good things Breitbart accomplished.
Were I of a conspiratorial bent I would be suspicious; Breitbart died of heart failure out of the blue, and Bean got creamed by a car. Watch for the conspiracy theories to fly.

Remember what "they" say: Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they aren't out to get you!

Nixon was proof of that!

He was, and ended up inside a great tragedy. I've always felt he didn't deserve what finally happened to him. It's popular to say "he was a deeply-flawed individual," but there are many of those walking around, and way too many of them are in government service and do worse things than he did every day -- and get away with it. His crime was his overpowering loyalty to his friends. And only in government is that seen as a flaw.
