Probably unknown to most here, she won Wimbledon in 1998. In her losing Wimbledon final effort in 1993 she cried and was comforted by the Duchess of Kent during the awards ceremony. She has died of cancer at the young age of 49.

On Sirius XM Progress Radio today, a caller made the observation that the Republicans would even vote Charles Manson into office. Though Hitler would have come up a very close second.
How much does it cost to support a prisoner? What a waste of money that was.

OK, Della Reese, David Cassidy, and Charles Manson. Does that meet our quota? Or does Manson not count?
Frankly, I'm pushing for Donald Trump to round out this troika. Except for his funeral. As I understand, each president can make arrangements for his own funeral ahead of time. And, as I understand, Trump has already made his own arrangements which include the massive display of military hardware in a massive parade patterned after the massive Red Square parades in his boyfriend's country.

We have a thread about him currently, and he is revered among Biblical Christians as a good teacher.

Hopefully, this is not too over the top, but I feel particularly sad when musicians that I enjoy pass away, particularly when it is so early in life as it is for Dolores.
List of musicians that have passed away so far this year. Musicians Who Died in 2018 - W’M Dolores is for me, the most prominent person on this list. I am sure that others will have their own favorites. Spelling corrected. Thanks Heathen. Hopefully the original message will get corrected too. Edited by Admin, : Correct spelling in title. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We've got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand. Neil Young, Rockin' in the Free World. Worrying about the "browning of America" is not racism. -- Faith I hate you all, you hate me -- Faith
