  • The Greatest Chicagoan Has Died

    Studs Turkel passed away today.

    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

        Can't say I know him, but I like 'Curiosity did not kill this cat'

        RIP whoever he was.
        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

          Just saw that on a news scroll. Shame to see him go, but he had one hell of a long, productive life -- and the world is a better place because he was it it.

          RIP, Studs, and thanks.

            Just because he's dead doesn't mean he can't vote.

              It's sad to see a writer like him go.

              We'll always have his books and interviews.
