Etc.

Of course the Reno paper refuses to ask national superintendent of the year Heath Morrison why his district refuses to reveal the amount of money it settles in bogus lawsuits.

The guy is a total publicity hound, and the district is a pile of corrupt shit. It hasn't changed at all since his arrival.

He's total ego.

Obituary: Conservative commentator Tony Blankley, 63, has died of stomach cancer.

Some interesting trivia:

Mr. Blankley was born in England and spoke with a trace of a British accent, but he was raised in Los Angeles. As a child, he acted in television shows such as “Lassie” and “Make Room for Daddy” before developing an interest in the law and politics as a teenager.

Perhaps Hollywood's first and only supercentenarian, Frederica Sagor Mass, 111, has died:

Frederica Sagor was born July 6, 1900, in New York City and studied journalism at Columbia University.

At 20, she was hired as assistant story editor at Universal Pictures in New York. When the bosses she later called "chauvinistic honchos" refused to help her become a screenwriter, she left for Hollywood. She was 23.

Film school was the movie theater, where she watched current releases over and over to understand the "rhythm of the scenes," she told National Public Radio in 1999.

In the late 1920s, she married Ernest, who was her writing partner. Her scripts for silent films include the 1926 movies "Flesh and the Devil" with Greta Garbo and "Dance Madness."

Maas had nearly 20 credits, including "His Secretary" in 1925 and "The Waning Sex" the next year. Both starred Norma Shearer, who was a good friend until Maas unsuccessfully warned her against marrying Thalberg.
