3 comments Posted by Parson at 3:02 PMBond's Moneypenny, Lois Maxwell, Dies - ENTERTAINMENT - Comcast.net
The Canadian-born actress starred alongside Sean Connery in the first James Bond movie, "Dr. No," in 1962 as the secretary to M, the head of the secret service.
She died Saturday night at Fremantle Hospital near her home in Perth, Australia, the BBC cited a hospital official as saying.
Lois Maxwell's Moneypenny character is one of the people that made the James Bond movies the classics they have became. She will be missed.

Congress passes the McCarran Act, also known as The Internal Security Act of 1950, overriding Harry Truman's veto. The act provides for severe restrictions on civil liberties, suspension of free speech, and placing of undesirable Americans in concentration camps. The act has never been repealed.
In fact, it's even been enhanced - the McPatriot Act

Responding to accusations that he diverted $18,000 in contributions into his pocket, Senator Richard M. Nixon rescues his candidacy for Vice President by insisting that he had never accepted any money. Although Nixon does admit he accepted a cocker spaniel named Checkers for his daughter Tricia. The televised monologue rescues his political career.

An article in the Northern Illinois University student newspaper The Northern Star propagates the rumor that "Paul is dead." But if you play "I'm so Tired" from the White Album, you hear the question "Is Paul McCartney Dead?" And "Revolution #9" implores, "Turn me on dead man." Well, sort of.
Quick! Someone call Robert!

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Hall of Fame running back and one-time murder defendant O.J. Simpson will be held without bail after his arrest in connection with an alleged sports-memorabilia heist, Las Vegas police said Sunday.
Police released this mug shot of O.J. Simpson after his arrest.
Smug looking bastard, ain't he?
Simpson, 60, will have his first scheduled court appearance Thursday, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said after the former football star's arrest on robbery, assault, burglary and conspiracy charges.
No explanation accompanied the decision, which was announced in a police statement Sunday night.
Simpson was booked Sunday evening on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count each of armed burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Capt. James Dillon told reporters.
All the charges carry possible prison terms, with a range of two to 30 years on the robbery counts and one to six on the rest.Simpson was seen shortly before his arrest leaving a Las Vegas resturant, whistling "If I Only Had A Brain" (no, I did NOT make that up).
I get the feeling Dionne Warwick's "That's What Friends are For" should be playing in the background.

Baby yanked from couple for kisses on belly button
The ordeal is finally over, but for the past year, a North Carolina family has been torn apart after state officials claimed family photos of a father kissing his baby's belly button were some kind of child abuse.
It began when Teresa Hamaty took impromptu party snapshots of her husband, Charbel, playfully embracing their naked, newborn son, Kristoff.
After dropping the film off at an Eckerd store in North Raleigh, authorities were notified.
"You see the back of the baby, and like if someone is kissing the baby's belly button," Teresa told WRAL-TV.
But police saw the worst and arrested Teresa for taking sexually explicit photos, charged her husband with felony sexual assault, and put Kristoff and his half-sister in protective custody.
"I think this was one of those times that they got the wrong people," Teresa said. "They were too quick to judge when they took one look at my husband."
