A sad day indeed. Charles Kennedy was a man who was able to cross polical borders, and actually did answer questions directly. A man who was very real and human. I liked him.

The deaths of Whitney and Bobbi Kristina in similar circumstances are so tragic. It seems like fate dealt them a particularly cruel hand. Whitney Houston was greatly talented and her earlier performances were breathtaking. Her daughter was only setting out on her career. Sadly, celebrity and diva status seem to attract all the negatives as well as success.
