Hats Off to Paul Newman

A gentleman, an activist, a generous entrepeneur, and one of the last century's finest actors: Paul Newman passed away yesterday at the age of 83. Still as cool as ever, Paul is an example to liberals everywhere that you don't have to be an in your face blowhard to get your message across.
And what a fine example of a life well-lived.
Married to Joanne Woodward since 1957 without scandal (he would say 'why go looking for hamburger when i've got steak at home?') , over 250 million dollars given to charities through his Newman's Own products (and quality products they are). The Hole in the Wall gang camp for children with cancer (free of charge to its young guests)..
Butch Cassidy, Cool Hand Luke, Fast Eddie, Henry Gondorff, Hud, Hombre...the list goes on and on.
God Bless Paul Newman! Sleep Warm buddy.
