R.I.P., Peter O'Toole
One of my favorite actors died this weekend. Peter O'Toole passed away at the age of 81.
He was a man of many characters, but my all-time favorite was "A Lion in Winter" with Katherine Hepburn Here is a cut from the movie:

R.I.P., Frank Davis
Frank Davis, a local celebrity in Southeast Louisiana, has passed on at the age of 71.
Frank was well loved for his sense of humor, his fishing tips, his cooking demonstrations and cookbooks.
He was always cheerful and had a personality that brought light into the room.
CIPD, an autoimmune disease, had Frank going from using a cane to permanent bed rest in a month. Here is the last video I know of on Frank dealing with this illness.
For those of you who don't have any of his cookbooks, WWL TV has an archive at this link.

Scuzzbucket of the Week
From Blacknews.com
Mark Ciavarella Jr, a 61-year old former judge in Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to nearly 30 years in prison for literally selling young juveniles for cash. He was convicted of accepting money in exchange for incarcerating thousands of adults and children into a prison facility owned by a developer who was paying him under the table. The kickbacks amounted to more than $1 million.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has overturned some 4,000 convictions issued by him between 2003 and 2008, claiming he violated the constitutional rights of the juveniles – including the right to legal counsel and the right to intelligently enter a plea. Some of the juveniles he sentenced were as young as 10-years old.
Ciavarella was convicted of 12 counts, including racketeering, money laundering, mail fraud and tax evasion. He was also ordered to repay $1.2 million in restitution.
His “kids for cash” program has revealed that corruption is indeed within the prison system, mostly driven by the growth in private prisons seeking profits by any means necessary.

I love this quote from Mandela:
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion,” he wrote in “Long Walk to Freedom.”
