Keith Jackson died today
ESPN just ran a lengthy tribute to sports announcer Keith Jackson who died this morning at age 89.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Oh nelly! Heaven is getting great one.
Best announcer, the voice of college football. He made every school fan feel like he understood their team and gave them a fair amount of attention.
