Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig has passed away at the age of 85.
Alexander Haig, Rest in Peace
The Haig family says he died Saturday at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore from complications associated with an infection. He was 85.
Haig’s long and decorated military service launched the Washington career for which he became better known. But he never lived down his televised response to the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan.
It had just been earlier reported that former Secretary of State Alexander Haig was admitted to a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Reports state that that Haig is critically ill in the hospital with an undisclosed illness.
The four-star general served as a top adviser to three presidents. Haig ran unsuccessfully for president in 1988.

His aides released a statement saying that he died shortly after 1 p.m. today at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Mr. Murtha had been placed in intensive care last week after complications from gallbladder surgery, his staff said then.
Although we agreed with very little of Murtha’s policies, political agenda or comments he made toward Marines, this is not neither the time or place to discuss. We wish his family our condolences on their loss and wish John Murtha the peace of the Lord.
The Washington Post had a nice eulogy regarding the accomplishments in Murtha’s life not related to politics.

Actress Brittany Murphy Dead at the Age of 32 – Cardiac Arrest
Actress Brittany Murphy died early Sunday morning at the age of 32 from a cardiac arrest. She died while being transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA. Brittany Murphy went into cardiac arrest, could not be revived and was pronounced dead on arrival.
To some one that appeared to have a troubled life recently, may Brittany Murphy finally rest in peace.
Brittany Murphy, Rest in Peace
Brittany Murphy acting career included such popular films as “Clueless,” “8 Mile,” and “Don’t Say a Word.” I had forgot that Brittany Murphy did the voice over of Luanne Platter in over 200 episodes of King of the Hill.
According to TMZ, a 911 was made at 8:00 AM from the Los Angeles home that is listed as belonging to her husband, Simon Monjack. They are also reporting that Brittany Murphy’s mom discovered her unconscious in the shower.
There is a police investigation into the death of Brittany Murphy.
The AP is reporting that Murphy appears to have died from natural causes. Natural causes? A 32 year old dies of a cardiac arrest and it is assumed natural causes. Bizarre.
However, this is rather peculiar … according to TZM, Murphy’s husband did not want an autopsy preformed. Why would that be?

A tragic end to the tragic life of Chris Henry …
26 year old Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry has died from injuries after he fell off the back of a truck during a domestic dispute with his fiancee. A sad ending to an individual who has had a troubled past.
Chris Henry, RIP
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Thursday. Henry was 26.
Henry was rushed to the hospital Wednesday after being found on a residential road. Police said the dispute began at a home about a half-mile away, and Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup truck as his fiancee was driving away from the residence.
Police said at some point when she was driving, Henry “came out of the back of the vehicle.” They wouldn’t identify the woman, and no charges were immediately filed.
TMZ has the 911 call where the woman driving the truck told the 911 operator that Henry was beating on the back window of the truck.
Ken Ober of MTV’s 80′s Remote Control Dead at Age 52
Sad news from the MTV world of days gone by … Ken Ober, the host of the 1980’s game show “Remote Control” has passed away at the age of 52. The cause of death was not immediately known.
Lee Kernis, a manager at Brillstein Entertainment Partners who represented Mr. Ober for more than 20 years, said that Mr. Ober was found dead on Sunday. He said that Mr. Ober was last heard from on Saturday night, when he spoke to a friend and complained of a headache and flu-like symptoms. Mr. Ober told the friend that he was going to take something and would see a doctor as soon as possible.
Mr. Ober, who was born in Brookline, Mass. and raised in Hartford, Conn., grew up idolizing game show hosts like Bob Barker and Bob Eubanks, and went on to host four game shows of his own, including a revived version of “Make Me Laugh” in 1997. But his breakthrough came a decade earlier when Mr. Ober, a contestant on the televised talent show “Star Search,” became the host of the MTV series “Remote Control” in 1987.
One last blast from Remote Control Past Ken Ober from 1989
Who didn’t watch Remote Control in the 80’s?
I admit it, I watched this spoof game show all the time, back when MTV was actually worth watching. Remember when they used to actually play videos and be funny? CNN said of Ken Ober and his cult hit game show, “that MTV game show “Remote Control” was among the network’s first forays into non-music programming, has died at age 52. Might I add, one of the few forays that was successful.
Rest in Peace Ken Ober.
