  1. Ron Hubbard dead at age 54... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Minister /Writer L. Ron Hubbard was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details yet. I'm sure we'll all miss him, even if you weren't a fan of his work there's no denying his contribution to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
