I hadn't heard that TV legend Paul Henning, who created The Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction, died yesterday at 93, until I checked out my LJ friends list.

His grandson mr_fu has a very nice tribute to him. I wish I'd known the man.

One more Terri Schiavo comment...I know that folks are really getting tired of hearing it, but I couldn't resist:

Why are the same religious leaders who call for "defending marriage" against the "threat" of same-sex marriages not defending Michael Schiavo's spousal right to decide care for his wife?
