Dead actor...gone Governor.

When things happen in the biz, they happen fast and furious.

You've probably already heard about actor Heath Ledger being found dead in his New York City home. At last report, there doesn't appear to be any foul play or criminal activity, though pills were found near his bed. To die at 28, and as a young man with a great deal of talent and for no apparent reason...if that does not give you pause, it probably should.

Then on the political scene another lightning bolt: Missouri Governor Matt Blunt announces he will not seek re-election. Holy cow! (as a certain deceased sportscaster would say.) NO ONE I know saw that coming. Blunt says he has accomplished almost everything he set out to do when he was elected in 2004, so he's hanging up the governor's hat. No word on what he will do next, though at least one confrere in the biz opines that he may seek the Senate seat of Kit Bond. Wonder how Kenny Hulshof will feel about that, since he appeared to be the anointed one.

Keep yer eye on the ball, folks. The changes are fast and furious (and in some cases, sad beyond belief).
