A Snort . . . A Strike . . . and Johnny Carson

Carson passed over the weekend. Check your personal media outlet for details. I do think its sort of nice that someone released the information recently that he was still sending jokes to Letterman. It makes me think that those around him knew the end was eminent, and wanted a last opportunity for the world to note his greatness while he could still see it. Maybe I'm just projecting my hopes onto the truth, but I'm willing to interpret it as a generous act for a man the world loved.

There will be far too many tributes to him, and his death will push life-changing news off of the front pages, but that's okay by me. He changed the face of entertainment, and always appeared to be a genuinely nice guy.
