He will always have access to everything he needs to maintain his health while denying others the same.

Oh man, I loved Diane Keaton— Annie Hall had such a huge influence on me as a teen, everything about her style & her energy, the clothes she wore & the way she talked! She just felt like such a model of New York City intellectual life, jittery & adventurous & original

"He was a consummate actor. He knew what was required & he knew he could deliver it. He stuck acting in his back pocket & behaved like a human being. He was a total actor because he was a total person."
Mel Brooks on John Candy

I cannot conceive of a better tribute than 'John Candy: I Like Me'.

A bruised-yet-smiling John Candy gives the perfect full-stop to his Oscar-worthy performance as Del Griffith in the final moments of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" (1987). And I don't use the Oscar mention lightly. I've always believed that, were he still with us, he'd already have won one for an incredible performance in a more serious role.

Clear your thoughts, take a deep breath, and really try to imagine what the news would be like today if Joe Biden had accepted a flying brothel as a bribe from Qatar and then let them build an Air Force base in Idaho.

Not just Fox. What would the @nytimes.com be like?

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.
