JFK dies again

Ozzie Davis, who played JFK- yes, *that* JFK- in "Bubba Ho-Tep", died here
in Florida.

This is a man who, even if he wore a pink tutu with a bra on his head and a
feather out of his ass, would *still* be dignified.

He was a social activist, but the effective type- the kind that got stuff
done instead of pandering to the media. It's amazing what he got
accomplished with simple persistence, instead of being in-your-face.

Indeed, another great loss for the theatre, film and television. In 2004,
he and his wife were Kennedy Center Honor recipients.

In December, Jerry Orbach also passed due to prostate cancer. Remember him
as Lars Mangros in the Buck Rogers TV series (1980)?

Ow! I hurt my hippocampus even trying to remember that.

Has the spandex supply recovered since that show ended?
