RIP
Pernell Roberts
1928 - 2010

I suspect there's quite a Bonanza cast reunion going on in the Hereafter. Yeah, I know, he exited in the middle of the series, not a great career move, but back in the day, he and Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker and Michael Landon were one of the most memorable TV families of all time, certainly of the Golden Age of TV Westerns. (I *miss* westerns! What's happened to America that we've let our greatest genre fade away?!)

I'm gonna beat someone to death with their copy of "Hooked on Phonics"...

I read this gem in a Yahoo news story about a woman suing because she was kept in a hospital against her will because she was undergoing a high-risk pregnancy: "She said her doctor, Jana Bures-Foresthoefel, was brusk and overbearing."

Brusk?! Arrgh! You mean "brusque", you idjit. Where the heck is SpellCheck when you need it?!
