I will never forget watching Tim Russert’s coverage of the historic 2000 Presidential election.
Those who know me well know I love to follow politics. I still remember staying up until the wee hours of the morning, waiting for the results of the 2000 election. Tom Brokaw and Tim Russert were doing the coverage for NBC, and Tim Russert went down in history as the man who held up the white board that said, “FLORIDA, FLORIDA, FLORIDA.”
Though I’m sure Russert and I disagreed a lot about politics, I thought he was one of the most fair and interesting political pundits around. I’m sure most of you have heard that he passed away at the young age of 58 yesterday. He will be missed, and my prayers go out to his family.

beingfrugal just keeps getting better. Congrats on writing for Blissfully Domestic; it’s another of my keepers. I really get a lot out of beingfrugal, and the roundup link for SimpleMom’s recipes on De.lici.ous got me thinking…and I figured out how to make bundles for frugality and other topics I am keenly interested in. Thanks again!
Thanks for the link Lynnae! Congrats on writing for Blissfully Domestic – one more notch in your belt!
I will miss Tim Russert’s face on election night too, he was one of those people that everyone liked, and he was fair to both sides. He is one of those journalists who really lived what it meant to be fair, objective and to really try to get at the truth.
Congrats on the new gig! I know a chica or two over there and they are a great bunch of girls!
