Bernie Mac R.I.P. 1957-2008

August 9th, 2008 by intr0vert

Native son of Chicago, Comedian Bernie Mac died this morning from Pneumonia after dealing with a nasty bout of Sarcoidosis (scary shit). (Chicago Tribune Announcement) He was only 50. Besides how young he was it’s sad that the last news items on the Mac before he died were over some offhand Obama comments which were mostly just taken too seriously. It’s Humor, People. I know we have to save the country and all but remember that Comedians are here to make our lives better (except for maybe Andy Dick). J/K.

$100 gets you in to the most amazing QOTSA show ever.

Really Sad. The Swayze only has 5 weeks to live. We had the time of our lives, and we owe it all to you.
