Do you think the rash of celebrity deaths this year is an aberration, or is it just that there are more and more celebrities every year, and more celeb deaths is just a side effect of that that we’ll eventually get used to.  Like, in the future, will there be a story every day about how New York from Flava of Love succumbed to Hepatitis D or Mystery from the Pick-Up Artist choked on a feather boa?

Anyway, so this was a longwinded and totally inappropriate way to begin a report about former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, who died today at the age of 93.  McNamara was featured in the Oscar-winning 2003 Errol Morris documentary The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara, which I would highly recommend to any of you ignorant sluts who haven’t seen it.  He also did a lot of other really important and controvertial things in his life, but we only care about the time he sort of starred in a movie.  Haha, I love you, frivolous nonsense profession.
