My impression of Ambassador Holbrooke in person, first hand, was an extremely arrogant, wholly political, deeply in love with the sound of his own voice upper crust East Coast limousine liberal. Very typical of the breed, but for whatever reason I left that meeting with a strong desire to see his face have an up close and personal introduction to Mr. Louisville Slugger.

Later on, as he was a point man defending Clinton's bombing of Belgrade and Serb civilians, I grew to really despise the man as genuinely evil. At least his perforated heart will probably keep him out of the seat his whole sordid career has been aimed at occupying, Secretary of State, which is exactly where he'd end up if or when his patroness, Hillary Clinton, resigns to "save" the Democratic Party in 2012.

“I Love Lucy’s” Lucille Ball, 77, died of a thoracic aortic dissection despite a heroic and almost successful surgical attempt to save her life.

She did well after the initial placement of the aortic graft, but died several days later.

They had her up and walking the day after surgery...........too soon?

Hypertension (high blood pressure) and some connective tissue diseases are risk factors for aortic dissection.

Lucy was advised to lay off the salt......but she loved margaritas in salt-rimmed glasses....and her husband Gary is said to have indulged her in this whim.

Hmmm. Is this level of care routinely covered under the new health care law for a person of his age, ethnicity and sexual orientation?
