Stuff to Know this Morning

Dear Lord,

I know that I don't talk to you that much,
 but this year you have taken away:
 my favorite visionary Steve Jobs,
 my favorite author Ray Bradbury,
 my favorite childrens' author Maurice Sendak,
 my favorite American Bandstand guy Dick Clark,
 my favorite hairdresser Vidal Sassoon,
 my favorite musician Earl Scruggs,
 my favorite Monkee Davy Jones,
 my favorite 60 Minutes guy Mike Wallace,
 and my favorite singer Whitney Houston.

I just wanted to let you know
 that my favorite radio announcer is Rush Limbaugh.

Amen.
