I'm not a fan of his, but I wish him well in his fight against lung cancer.

At 5:57 PM, Tran Sient said...: Even I can't bring myself to kick a man when he's down. I hope he has a 100% recovery.
At 7:34 PM, Dan Zaremba said...: I wish people stopped smoking.

I am a converted non-smoker (last ciggy I had 'twas in 1988).

I believe he is a smoker isn't he?
At 8:56 PM, Esther said...: Thanks for dropping by terry. Nice blog too.

felis, from what I heard him say tonight, he stopped smoking 20 years ago.... until 9/11 happened. Not sure if he meant only for that month or so or if had been smoking ever since.
At 6:15 AM, Sergeant America said...: I sincerely hope ... that Jennings perceived stature brings more "common folk" the BAD facts (refraining from using the word, "news," in order to create a "no pun zone") ... Smoking Kills! (... like a delayed, time bomb)

I "tried" it, when a youth. Then, $.25 (regular), $.27 (king size) a pack (... $2.50 +/- a carton). Now, paying $3.50 +/- a PACK seems an awful expensive manner to kill one's self ... one cigarette at a time? :(
At 3:40 PM, Dan Zaremba said...: SA,
A pack of ciggies in Oz gets close now to $15.00
Very expensive euthanasia.
At 4:56 PM, Sergeant America said...: felis, not to belabor the point; but as we were both "tickling" our respective keyboards ... my State of record is trying to "up the ante ..."
