His family shared the sad news Tuesday on his Twitter account. “We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Gilbert Gottfried after a long illness,” they said. “In addition to being the most iconic voice in comedy, Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children.

Another "famous person" that I have never heard of. RIP, sir, you didn't deserve this from these damned shots. Nobody does. But....we don't watch almost any current TV shows, save a couple. NCIS has about worn out it's welcome here. Sick of replacing all the white, normal people with blacks, Muslims and lesbians, etc. We still watch Blue Bloods, and it is still pretty good. Literally nothing else on regular TV gets watched in our house. Some reality TV shows like "Forged in Fire" and "Mountain Men", and more recently "The Repair Shop" from England is fun, since I could do a good bit of the repairs, although the teddy bear restorers and the lady who does the ceramics.....are awesome. The clock repairs, wood working and metal working...I think I could match much of their work, but still a lot of fun. Jay Leno's Garage is good, but we have no idea who most of his "celebrity guests" are. Mike Rowe's "How America Works" is excellent, as usual with Mike on board. And old movies, especially westerns, still finding some new ones that we never saw, or some that we last saw in 1965 or something. So....the rest of "TV land" is not something we bother with, so mostly have no idea who these 'celebrities' are.

RIP Gilbert Gottfried. Even though you always squinted like you needed glasses, I always thought he was funny. Even though he was replaced as the voice of the "AFLAC" duck...he will always be the best and original "AFLAC" voice to me.

This makes me truly sad. He was funny to us older folks, and that now included those were were kids back when Who Killed Roger Rabbit was the hottest thing going. I babysat two non-English fluent children for a day or so and we watched that film for hours. I believe their fluency improved greatly by the next day. (I take no credit for that.) But they later told me they researched all the actors who did the voiceovers.

Gilbert Gottfried giving an absolutely straight reading of an explicit "sexy" passage from that execrable "Fifty Shades of Gray" book was one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life. I thought I'd popped my spleen, I was laughing so hard.

Never heard of him but RIP. My TV is one stupid commercial away from being thrown out the window. I'm down to reruns of Big Bang Theory, no blacks and hilarious academic/scientific nerd humor. Last Man Standing is always good and the black guy adds a lot to the program because he is funny, smart and was on there long before the epidemic of woke started. It's not just me, the BET network is going bankrupt and the new black shows are failing because apparently they don't like their own stuff. Black commercials all come out of the same mold, people shouting while eating fast food and fat women dancing in their underwear. I thought commercials were supposed to entice you to buy a product.

This is sad news. The first time I heard Gilbert Gottfried was in Beverly Hills Cop 2 as accountant Sydney Bernstein. The scene with him and Eddie Murphy is hilarious. He was part of that era of great TV and movies and stand up comedy. Now all three aren't worth paying good money for as too many people are offended by things and have too many agendas. May he rest in piece and my condolences to his family.

At least one Democrat isn’t giving President Joe Biden a free pass for overseeing the worst inflation in 40 years. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia issued a scathing statement on the development on Tuesday, rejecting Biden’s attempts to invoke political excuses for the price squeezes on middle-class Americans. “Let me be clear, inflation is a tax, and today’s historic inflation data tells another chilling story about how these taxes on Americans are completely out of control,” Manchin said. Manchin directly criticized Biden’s administration for failing to provide solutions to the problem, instead looking for someone to blame. “When will this end?

A flying object collided with President Joe Biden as he spoke on energy policy at an Iowa ethanol plant on Tuesday. Americans questioned what the mysterious white substances could’ve been, with most spectators eventually coming to a likely conclusion. It appears that a bird delivered a “dive bomb” of sorts directly on the shoulder of the President of the United States. [Video] Biden was only slightly fazed by the aerial attack, continuing on with his speech after a glance at his left shoulder. The venue in which Biden gave his speech, POET Bioprocessing in Menlo, Iowa, was an indoor space.

On the first Earth Day, April 22, 1970, the world was warned that billions would die soon because of a disastrous ice age. The Earth had been cooling for thirty years and it was about to get much worse. Crops would not survive the ice age so the people couldn’t be fed, The Earth was cooling even though CO2, the population, and fossil fuel consumption was rising rapidly, which we are told causes warming. The complicit media dutifully repeated these warnings to scare the public with no questions and no research. The warnings were 100% wrong because they were WAGS (wild a** guesses) instead of based on scientific data.

Very few Americans believe the nation is doing “very well” under President Joe Biden’s leadership, a Sunday CBS News poll revealed. Only 7 percent of Americans believe the country is doing very well, while 33 percent say the nation is doing very badly. On the economy, nine percent of Americans say Biden’s national economy is doing very well. Thirty-one percent said it is doing very badly. On whether Biden is doing enough to reduce 40-year-high inflation, only 31 percent say he is, while 69 percent say he is not. Biden’s approval with independents is also struggling. Only 12 percent of independents strongly approve of the president. Forty-one percent strongly disapprove.

Once upon a time, the mantra of the libertarian Left was "keep the government out of the bedroom." President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi want to regulate any gadget or appliance with an electric switch that turns on in your house or your driveway. New Department of Energy rules will dictate the amount of water that comes out of your showerhead, how much warm air comes out of your heater and how much cool air comes out of air conditioners. There is even talk about gadgets monitoring your home's temperature in the winter and summer months. How is any of this the government's business? The latest shower regulations are especially aggravating.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) says he hasn’t decided whether to run for reelection in 2024, when he could be on the same ballot as Donald Trump if the former president seeks another bid for the White House. Romney has cast several high-profile votes putting him at odds with the GOP base — including two votes to convict Trump on impeachment charges. He became the first senator in history to convict a president of his own party in an impeachment trial in 2020. Just last week, Romney was one of only three Republicans to vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

SEATTLE – Seattle’s Link Light Rail is a freeloader’s paradise. There are no turnstiles, so passengers are supposed to either buy a ticket or tap their pre-paid card. But so few riders are paying, fares are currently covering just 5% of the system’s operating costs, a fraction of the 40% mark Sound Transit set as a requirement. At a recent Sound Transit Board meeting, the outgoing CEO summed up the situation. "Our fare collection system relies overwhelmingly on an honor system," Peter Rogoff said, "and our increasingly acute problem is that our riders aren’t honoring the system." By one measurement
