Not another one

I just heard the news that NBC political analyst Tim Russert passed away at the age of 58. I literally gasped when I heard this. He was one of the rare political journalists who I respected -- he didn't show any bias to a particular party, he asked the hard questions folks wanted to hear the answers to, and he had a clear passion for politics.

Most importantly, he seemed like a nice guy. I remember seeing an interview with him and his father when he released his Big Russ & Me book, and the way he, at the age of 54, still spoke to his father with utmost respect grabbed my attention. My sympathies to his family. A great loss for journalism.

What a week of ginourmous WorldSuck.
