U.S. Rep. John Murtha, an influential critic of the Iraq War whose congressional career was shadowed by questions about his ethics, died Monday. He was 77.

The Pennsylvania Democrat had been suffering complications from gallbladder surgery. He died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., spokesman Matthew Mazonkey said.

John Murtha was a horrible politician, but he was a dedicated Marine who served his country and went on to become the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Murtha.

News broke early this morning on Twitter that Frances Reid, who portrayed Alice Horton on Days Of Our Lives since 1965, has passed away. I’ll post more when I get details, but for now, let’s remember Frances the way most of us will always remember her.


 

I started watching Days Of Our Lives when I was 10 years old. For thirty-five years Alice Horton has been like a third grandmother to me, and this morning I am saddened more than I could ever explain.

Rest In Peace, Frances.
