RIP, Peter Jennings...

My favorite news anchor of all time, Peter Jennings died yesterday. He was only 67. Out of the three networks, I prefer NBC as a news organization, but I always watched World News Tonight and Peter Jennings was the sole reason for my doing so. RIP, Peter, you shall be missed.

I know and he is still very young. That's why smoking is bad for you folks

Whoever smokes, think twice about it.

One of the best news guys we have been blessed with. And a damn handsome one to boot.

This bummed me out. He was by far my favorite anchor; I thought ABC's coverage was that much better than the other networks with him running the show.

Amazing to think he dropped out of high school . . . just shows that brains and love of school don't go together.

Has anyone seen One Day in September? Great film.

I'm also really glad that the people close to me stopped smoking. Oh yeah except one. I have to give her a lecture the next time I see her.
