Chavez dead, takes picture with obituary to prove. Plans Weekend at Bernie's remake.

Huggable little socialist teddy bear Hugo Chavez has died.  Positives... he did follow through on promises to change Venenzuela.  And he did bring in a LOT of points this season.  In fact, he's now tied for 2nd place all-time with his in-death BFF Bonnie Franklin.   But as noted by Mike M., his passing is a reminder of a retort from pioneer comedienne Jackie "Moms" Mabley when she was told that, if someone is dead, you should only say good things about them.  She replied, "He's dead.  That's good."   Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías, dead at the age of 58.  Read more HERE.

Even Schneider Can't Fix This

One Grave at a Time
6 Feet at a Time
One Day, Out of Time

Too many choices! This is really difficult for me. I mean, relatively speaking. I would imagine Bonnie Franklin's family might beg to differ. Obviously she's most famous for her role as Ann Romano on One Day at a Time, but she now owns the record as the second most popular score ever in Happy Funtime history (8), behind only Etta James in 2012 (9). That's famous, right there! But one must wonder, how did Mackenzie Phillips outlive her? Bonnie Gail Franklin, dead at the age of 69. Read more HERE.

On February 27, 2013 Harvey Lavan "Van" Cliburn Jr. joined our greatest generation of musicians at The Great Concert Hall in the sky. It's a safe bet he gets a solo.
