The world of politics was shocked to learn that an apparent heart attack claimed one of its most beloved reporters today.&#160 Tim Russert was 58.

Tim Russert was, in this scribe’s view, one of the less distrusted folks in the media.&#160 He was hard on our side, but he could be equally hard on the Left – and was unfailingly polite to everyone.&#160 His was the longest tenure of all moderators on NBC’s Meet The Press – and not without damned good reason.

I have to confess that I didn’t watch a whole lot of Tim – but I also have to say I never minded it when I did.&#160 I never got the sense while watching him that he was being overtly unfair or partisan when he interviewed someone.&#160 In an industry where one can generally tell someone’s leanings just from their “aura”, Russert’s fairness (despite his political leanings) was a breath of fresh air.

Tim Russert will be sorely missed – by conservatives & liberals alike.&#160 And that’s one of the greatest compliments a man in his profession could be paid.

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
