That's how these rumors get started. This information may be correct, but we should make sure we have it right before we post.

chellim1Breaking News: Former Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes has died, his family announced.

"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

"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

justjoeIt's too bad that his long, successful career ended the way it did so soon before his life ended. He died a troubled man.

GeorgeairSeems another example of extreme stress having the ability to push us over the edge if we are even remotely close to begin with.

Stress can have a huge impact on your health for sure - I've seen that in my own life. Very glad to be in a much less stressful situation for the past 10 years or so.

justjoeRush Limbaugh knew Ailes very well, and, apparently, on his show today he talked about Roger. I read the transcript online, and this is a snippet of it that gives you a sense of the whole:
"There is, as we speak — and there has been for the past year — a barrage of slander and libel aimed at Roger by pissants, who will never accomplish even 5% of what he did. These are people that did not know him, that prejudged him, that were jealous. People who were envious, and people who felt the need to take down a serious enemy who threatened what they consider to be to be their rightful hold on the media, on America, or what have you. Some of the things being said just today about Roger Ailes are absolutely untrue."
