In fact this looks like a whole sheet of stamps to me. (Matson's consistently terrific, don't you think?) I agree, Kathy, a perfect stamp! In fact this looks like a whole sheet of stamps to me.

I wish I could recall where I saw a list of many of them -- scroll, scroll, scroll, it was that long. Most of the reporting I paid attention to is print, but props to MSNBC for remaining completely silent during the memorials, funeral etc. It was when they weren't silent that they were just as annoying as CNN. Fox, of course, is a partisan joke and will always be relegated to the kids' table unless or until it makes the necessary changes to be taken seriously by anyone other than wingnuts. I do know Fox would <em>like </em>to be taken seriously but it's a tricky change to try to become a real news organization without losing the olds, the rabid right and the willfully ignorant and misinformed who make up their core audience. And I have no sympathy for them. Bed/ lie in it. Hi Shore – I never remember COBRA and Title IX. I wish I could recall where I saw a list of many of them — scroll, scroll, scroll, it was that long.

There are so many good things about this tribute, not the least of which is the way it provides a reminder of his accomplishements and contributions. OSHA? Mental health parity? I never would have remembered those without the reminder.
