In "Bernie Mac dead at 50."

A comedian with class. Very few of them left. Bernie's respect for family shined in his tv show and his timing was impeccable. Now I feel old. He was my age and prided himself on keeping healthy. Now I wonder if it matters. Soft hands, warm heart?! Peace, Melissa

In "The Dark Knight- Joker Interrogation Scene"

In case you missed the credit for Nicholson... it is William Smillie...appropro don't you think? Melissa

Did anyone else recognize Jack Nicholson as one of the bank robbers in the opening scene? The credit is for someone no one has ever heard of...hence my confirmation that the old fart with the bald spot is the sadistic joker of the first round. Melissa

In "Now it's Isaac Hayes"

How tragic and what a loss! He was just here in Houston last year for our wonderful festivals. Sitting at Starbucks on Montrose, all I could think was how much he contributed to our atmosphere and understanding of musical artists and ethnic individuality. In Peace, our friend, Isaac. With Love Melissa

In "Christopher Hitchens "

Some of us have encountered the 'torturing enemy' in our most intimate relationships. No code words, no metal relief valves...no one to audience and applaud our 'willingness to be a spectacle.' A mannerly Hitchens does not make profound Hitchens. MCT, though my life experiences have been more than '14 seconds' in challenges...you would find me most gracious and would love to buy you and the Mrs. a drink.

In "The Snooze to Destiny Thread."

I believe the tune would be "taoG teP yM" after a full 18 holes...ending with a gag on a pretzel. And why hasn't anyone merchandised Presidential Pretzels? I'll honor the day by taking my "Mission Accomplished" Bush Doll to The Houston Country Club Course for ride on a cart.

In "Christopher Hitchens "

I counted about 14 seconds before he was ready to sell out his mother. If he had 1/1000 of an understanding of the people and policies he brutalizes with his commentary, he might still hold my attention longer than these sissy 14 seconds of very un-grandstanding. I liked him back in the pre-Benedict Dennis Miller Show days with a fag and two fingers of single-malt. He was still one of us.

In "Phil Spector's Murder Trial"

I wonder what she said that made him see himself in her. Too bad his aim was NOT true...or else we would have buried this bad thing already.

In "The Way of All Flesh"

What a way to be remembered and honored even if probably posthumously! If only the rest of us garnered a moment of this attention IRL.
