How the hell does anyone die of pneumonia at age 50 in these United States anymore? What's next, consumption making a comeback?

I think his sarcoidosis must have made it hard for his body to fight off the pneumonia. If it wasn't caught early, and it sounds like it wasn't, that would have made it even more difficult.

Pneumonia's still serious business, especially when combined with any chronic condition.

Oh, he's actually dead this time? I thought he was on Regis and Kelly last week, but I realized I got him confused with George Lopez.

Aughhh I can't believe the craziness of the Twilight Lexicon manifesto. Oppression, discrimination and violating the 1st ammendment, oh my!

Well, technically, the First Amendment only applies to censorship by the (American) government. They're perfectly within their rights to suppress opinions, because people still have the ability to express them elsewhere. I mean, it's still completely wanky of them, but it's not a First Amendment issue.

Ahahahahaha Maximum Ride. Never read it, despite my love for YA fiction, but when I was in high school, I won this writing contest and got to have lunch with James Patterson, and I remember him talking about it. "YEAH, IT'S JUST THIS THING. THE KIDS HAVE WINGS AND GO ON ADVENTURES. IT'S COOL."

OhmyGod, Iron Man DVD on September 30?! YAY!

Holy crap, Bernie Mac is dead? That was unexpected! D: I haven't seen him in that much since, like, Ocean's Eleven, but 50 is so young...
