Klu Klux Klan member Robert Byrd dies at age 92

Today the great white race mourns as KKK member Robert Byrd dies at the age of 92. If you don’t know anything about him let me get you up to speed with this eloquent quote of his:
“I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side… Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds. — Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944″
In all fairness he did denounce the KKK at one point but like all pussy ass racists he reared his ugly face in 1964 and led a filibuster of the Civil Rights Act. What a great guy huh?
Oh btw he was a longest-serving Democratic Senator ever. Yeah and the Republicans are racist ones right? At least I can sleep knowing that no one in my party is/was a Klan member. Of course the Dems will be so proud of this legacy and call it a tragedy…. Fuckin’ hypocrites.
Patrick Swayze dies at 57
Actor, dancer and one bad ass bouncer of the Double Deuce, Patrick Swayze, passed away after a nearly two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Swayze died Monday with his family by his side.
On the brighter side at least he isn’t going to have to be around to see them butcher the Red Dawn remake. Say what you want about Swayze but he always seemed like a class act, was in some kick ass movies and was in one of the FUNNIEST fuckin’ skits SNL ever did! RIP Dalton in that big Double Deuce in the sky.
Walter Cronkite died…

Walter Cronkite, Iconic Anchorman, Dies at 92.
Not that anyone from my generation or younger even knows who the fuck this guy is. If you didn’t, he was a Anchorman. Not a cool, funny Anchorman like from the movie Anchorman but a stuffy, old, washed up Anchorman like from the TV show News Radio. This was before the days of 24/7 news channels and when being a news guy actually meant something I guess. I never understood the draw to a newscaster really. Wow you can read a sheet of paper or teleprompter better then the rest of us. You didn’t “make the news” you just fuckin’ report it. Oh well guess it’s before my time to understand.
It was only a matter of time…
It was only a matter of time before some shitty story like would come out. So this story on FoxNews.com talks about “What Celebrity Deaths Teach Us About Surviving Our 50s” so here is a quote from the story:
If the recent rash of celebrity deaths has taught us anything, it’s that surviving your 50s can be hard.
Farrah Fawcett died last week at age 62, but was diagnosed with anal cancer in her late 50s. And Michael Jackson and Billy Mays shocked fans by their sudden deaths at age 50.
Dr. Manny Alvarez, managing editor of health for FOXNews.com, said the deaths of Jackson and Mays point to how important it is to maintain heart health during your 50s.
“Clearly the common theme here is the heart,” he said. “If your lifestyle is focused on a healthy heart, you’ll probably do just fine in your 50s. The ticker is the king and queen.”
“Clearly the common theme here is the heart,”? Really “clearly”? Really? The heart?? Farrah died of anal cancer, Billy bumped his head and Michael was a fuckin’ junkie!! Am I missing some common thread? These 3 deaths couldn’t be further apart from each other. Not to mention Farrah was 62 so saying “surviving your 50s” is a stretch because ummmm she did! Yeah she was diagnosed in her 50s but come on now.
See people this is what happens when you “try to make news everyday”. Sometimes there isn’t a fuckin story to talk about so people make shit like this up. That is why some days WinkyFace doesn’t have any stories. I really don’t give a fuck about Obama swatting a fly or how 3 random non related deaths are somehow relate.
Michael Jackson Dies at 50

According to TMZ Michael Jackson died today at the age of 50.
We’ve just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.
We’re told one of the staff members at Jackson’s home called 911.
LaToya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.
Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.
They say the story is still in development.
And to quote a post I just read on Twitter from Philip DeFranco “Time for everyone to act like they always liked Michael Jackson. RIP you crazy bastard”.

Motorcyclist Killed by Lightning While Riding Back From Charity Event

A 45-year-old Lawrence Kan. man was killed when he was hit by lightning as he was riding his motorcycle as storms swept through northeast Kansas. Sources close to the man said he heard was saying “We will find a cure or may God strike me down”. Ok so that last part was made up, but come on, that was funny shit and just made you laugh.
On the serious side, the six motorcyclists were returning home after visiting some children they had helped in the past in their work against child abuse. The lightning strike killed one man, injured another and five more were unharmed. Friends call the man’s death a “tragic, sad thing.” I have to admit, even for a cold hearted prick like myself, when it comes to helping kids, it’s good to see people helping out!
Bea Arthur was alive?!?!?!

Fuck me if I didn’t even know Maude was still alive. Wasn’t she already around 80 in late 80′s early 90′s as Dorothy Zbornak on The Golden Girls?! Well this may come as a shock to some, but she was actually alive, well up until yesterday when she passed away at the age of 86 in her Los Angeles home. A family spokesman attributed her death to cancer. Her quick-wit, sarcastic wisecracks and put-downs will be missed. She was the queen of sarcasm. “After being in the business for such a long time, I’ve done everything but rodeo and porno.”
Marilyn Chambers found dead in LA home.

On a sad note, former porn star, cult icon, 2004 Presidential “Personal Choice Ticket” candidate, and Ivory Snow model Marilyn Chambers died Sunday just a week shy of her 57th birthday. Marilyn became a pop-culture icon when she quit working as a model for Ivory Snow and stared in the 1972 X-Rated movie “Behind the Green Door”. The cause of death is unknown at this point but it doesn’t look like any foul play was involved.
