Maya Angelou, poet laureate of the US, has passed away.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings is the first serious, heavy novel I remember reading when I was a kid. I just picked it up randomly in the school library, and fell in love with it.

"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" and "Still I Rise" have stayed with me since I first heard them in elementary school. Beautiful, evocative writer.

I won a poetry recital contest with Still I Rise.

RIP.

Not to be TOO irreverant, but...

Yes, Fox 26, I would say that is the case.

I tell ya, the reporters at FoxNews are a wall. Nothing gets past them.

Point of fact, that's a local fox affiliate, not Fox News. The affiliates always put their channel number in the name.

So, you know, these are the "cancelled Firefly and cancelled futurama twice" Fox, not the "Hannity O'Reilly" Fox.

 

[Emrys]

I sit corrected.

This is very sad.
