Welcome to the Realm™ - Version 5.0...

Mr. Russert has been joined by his co-anchor.&#160 Tony Snow, former White House press secretary and veteran Fox News anchor, lost his battle with cancer today.&#160 He had just turned 53.

Tony was not always one to march in lockstep with the Bush administration:

As a commentator, he had not always been on the president’s side. He once called Bush “something of an embarrassment” in conservative circles and criticized what he called Bush’s “lackluster” domestic policy.

However…

At the White House, Snow brought partisan zeal and the skills of a seasoned performer to the task of explaining and defending the president’s policies. During daily briefings he challenged reporters, scolded them and questioned their motives as if he were starring in a TV show broadcast live from the West Wing.

And he got the better of them far more often than not, somethat that will likely forever stick in their collective craw:

Critics suggested Snow was turning the traditionally informational daily briefing into a personality-driven media event short on facts and long on confrontation.

The thing with Tony, though, is that whatever he did – from fighting Lame Stream Midiots&#153 to fighting cancer – he always did so with a smile on his face and a heart full of cheer.

“He served people, and we can learn from that. He was kind, and we can learn from that. He was just a good person,” the senior Bush told FOX News.

[…]

“He was a great musician,” Ailes said. “And he loved movies.”

More than anything, said Snow’s colleagues, he was a joy to work with.

“He was a lot of fun,” his former FOX News producer Griff Jenkins said. “This is a loss of a family member.”

FOX News Chief Washington Correspondent Jim Angle called Snow a “gentleman.”

More than anything, we’ve lost a helluva good man, and a good friend.&#160 This one hurts.

We’re going to miss you greatly, Tony.&#160 Our prayers go out to your wife and children.

It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer  set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated.  (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)

(KORRIOTH:  Oh, great.  More wormholes.)

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.
