A Personal Note

I don't know that it really matters that I say anything about this, but I was shocked when I found out a few minutes ago that Tim Russert has passed away. Growing up in a politically divided home, the only political news show that my parents could agree to watch together was Meet the Press, and I still watch it to this day. To me, he appeared as one of the figures I could trust. He always seemed genuine and full of integrity. Anyway, I know that this seems silly since I don't really know the guy, but the news really saddened me.
