RIP & Misc

Jacques Barzun has died, aged 104. I didn't know he was still alive. He was the best kind of generalist historian, who wrote in a clear manner that swept the reader along, and he included popular culture and art along with the wars to give a full picture. Great man.

MeatLoaf has endorsed Romney! I am aghast. Another idol (so to speak) has gone down in flames, showing his idiocy all the way to the hell that he's promoting. Gah.
