My late mother's favorite male singer.  I really liked him, too.  Requiescat in pace, Mr. Benedetto.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

And just 2 weeks from turning 97.

Man had a lot of talent, and he modified his music to fit changing tastes. I remember he did a "Baby it's Cold Outside" duet with Lady Gaga - when he was around 90!

RIP, Tony.
