  1. Sad news ... Charles Bronson dead at 81 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - actor Charles Bronson was found dead in his California home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Hmmmm... what was it that republicans were supposed to be opposed to? Wasn't it regulation, taxes and wasteful spending? (think this issue, the tax on LANs and the ever more expensive war on Iraq) As a rugged individualist liberal, I'd have to say that with Bush in office, we've hit the Trifecta where the Bush admin's reputation is concerned. :P Yeah yeah, I know it's somewhat off topic, but you've got to admit it's quite comical.
