Peter Boyle Has Passed Away (Dec 13 2006 21:47 GMT) - Sad sad day around here. Peter Boyle, one of the most prolific character actors in movies today has passed away as a result of multiple myeloma and heart disease. The great man was only 71. Many people will think of things like "Everyone Loves Raymond" or "Joe" or "Young Frankenstein" when they think of Boyle, but my personal favorite memories of the man were his spots in Johnny Dangerously, The Shadow (which we've been talking a lot about around here recently) and The Dream Team. The guy had so much pure power which lent himself to being perfect for comedy. |

Stevens, a consistent liberal voice and vote on the high court, was also rumored to have wanted to step down after the 2006 election, so as to avoid making his replacement into a political issue. Although there is no way to determine whether Stevens actually intends to retire, it is not unlikely that one of the nine justices will in the next two years." To push a nomination through a Democratic Senate, Bush may choose a U. |
