Walter Cronkite: another icon has passed

Being the news junkie that I am, and growing up in a news junkie house, Walter Cronkite was like one of the family. Walter Cronkite WAS the news. He was the CBS anchor from 1962 thru 1981. I was there with him. I don't remember him covering the Kennedy assassination, because I was only six. But I remember watching the funeral--sitting mesmerized in front of our black and white TV--watching over and over and over again the horse drawn carriage and John John's salute.

I watched the Civil Rights marches, the Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy funerals, battles of the Vietnam war, Neil Armstrong landing on the moon, Watergate and countless other 'Breaking News' events all reported by the most 'trusted man in the US', Walter Cronkite.

I remember being a young adult and not having a Friday night date. The girls at work would ask what I was going to do after work. My response would be that I had a date with Walter. No one ever knew that my date was with Walter Cronkite and the CBS Evening News.

Heaven is really jumping now: Farrah has taken over all greeting and hospitality functions -- making sure that everyone is safe, happy and well cared for. Michael is singing and dancing up a storm. The whole joint's been jumping since he arrived. And now Walter is keeping everyone up to date and informed. And that's the way it is--July 17, 2009.

Kesha Ni' Cole Nichols left at the altar by NBA star

Former New Jersey Net dancer/cheerleader Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols was literally left standing at the altar this weekend by NBA star Richardson Jefferson.

The couple was to be married on Saturday July 11, 2009 at the posh Mandarin Oriental in New York, but Jefferson ended his relationship with Nichols the week before the wedding. Nichols notified friends and family of the breakup, but Jefferson kept quite about the breakup until the day of the wedding and called only 2 hours before the ceremony was to take place. ( Gee, how thoughtful of him)

Due to the late notice, some guest had already arrived for the $2 million affair. Rumor has it that to make up to his friends for the inconvenience, Jefferson gave his best friend his black AMEX card to pay for a fun-filled night on the town. How generous. It takes a lot of guts to call of a wedding. I hope he did the right thing for the right reasons...because what goes around comes around and payback is a b--ch!

Sarah Palin: from maverick to quitter

Sarah Palin once again has the media world buzzing. I'm not sure if that was her intent though. She hastily called a press conference, on a Friday afternoon, before a holiday weekend. Hmmm. If the plan was for no one to notice - it back fired.

We all know that Sarah isn't the most articulate speaker, but I found it extremely hard to follow what the heck she was trying to say. I got the bottom line - she is not going to run for re-election and she is quitting - I mean - resigning her post at the end of this month.

Everything else was typical Palin fashion, words coming out of her mouth, that don't make much sense. She has 18 months left, why quit? I got the impression she felt she was doing Alaska a favor by not sticking around because she would be a lame duck. Well, I think she's doing them a favor, but not for that reason.

What about the people that elected her? The people that she always mentioned that she was so fiercely fighting for? I wonder how they feel. I would be pissed. She never really gave a reason why. She talked in circles and gave basketball analogies about a good point guard keeping her eye on the ball and passing off to win the game. I like and understand basketball, but without knowing what she plans to do, it made no sense.

She did say her family was in favor of the decision. Of course they would be, taking care of a family and being governor is not an easy job. How much time did she actually get to spend with her family? Duhh. Holding a political office is nothing to sneeze at. What would have happened if she was the Vice president?? 'Gee...things aren't what we thought they would be, I'm taking my family and moving back to Alaska'.

Well, maybe if McCain won, it would be different. Who knows. But I do know that self-proclaimed mavericks shouldn't be quitters - it's not good for the rep. If her plan is to position herself for 2012, she better have a plan B, because even though she has small portion of America under her spell, Americans generally don't like quitters.
