This Isn’t Our Last Love Letter 

   
Dear Don Don,
 
Way back in 92

I walked into the room and knew

Never felt this way before

I shook your hand while gazing into your eyes

And the feeling grew

As I took a seat I knew

A love that would have my heart

Forever

I knew

Way back in 92


They say love at first sight doesn’t always last or isn’t true

We were the exception to that rule

Our love had no where to hide

A spark set fire

As if this is how the universe started


I never doubted our love or what we could do

Together we grew

Forming a bond everlasting

That became our glue

My euphoria was YOU

I’m eternally grateful for the love and life we shared

For how fortunate we were :

“to have and to hold
through sickness and in health
Til death do us part”

Until we are together again

This isn’t our last love letter

I love you with all my heart and soul

Yours forever,

Deirdre  (Mrs. Hank Snow)

I’m fortunate to have fallen in love with, marry and make a life with the sharpest, coolest, funniest, most rare, bad ass, tender loving, loyal man on the planet, my husband Don Imus.


A True American Hero

 

I don’t know why it has been so hard for me to write about my dear friend Don Imus.

I certainly know what he meant to me, my family, my charity, my hospital and the millions of fans that listened and loved him for so many years.


I keep reading all the beautiful condolences that people are writing about how much a part of their lives were effected by listening to him over the years.

But what most people don’t talk enough about is what he did for all of us.

 

In every sense of the word, he was an American Hero. His work with children with so many different illnesses and his dedication to their future was unmatched by anyone I have ever known or heard about.

Besides raising over $100,000,000 for so many causes, he took care of young people for over 20 years in a state where he could not breathe.  Along with his incredible wife Deirdre, he created a world where children were not defined by their disease. That was a miracle! He was a miracle.

 

I will miss him ever day for the rest of my life.
I was blessed to be a part of his and Deirde’s life.
No one will ever do what he did.
I love you Don Imus - A TRUE AMERICAN HERO

A Tribute To Don Imus

Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.

Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust 

Don Imus Was Abrupt, Harsh And A One-Of-A-Kind, Fearless Talent

By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.

Some News From Tony: 4/1/10

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush are Splitsville

Reggie Bush broke up with Kim Kardashian over her sex tape. Apparently Reggie’s mom didn’t like the idea of a potential daughter-in-law who was the star of a sex tape. All this time I thought they broke up over a heated discussion of Kierkegaard. Kim is upset because she won’t get to be Mrs. Bush. Don’t worry girl. To millions of men on the internet you are already Mrs. Bush. Time for a Brazilian. Don’t worry Kim, there are plenty of men that’d walk a mile for that camel….toe.

Jesse James In Foursome With Bombshell & Friends

Jesse James “got it on” in the Ocean Beach Tattoo and Piercing Shop. He had a foursome with Michelle Bombshell, the shop’s owner Eric McDougall, and his receptionist Skittles. The boy got it on with a girl named Skittles. In other words, he had a mouth full of Skittles. Jesse James was cheating on his wife and tasting a rainbow of fruit flavors. Obviously Jesse James likes women that remind him of candy. Why else would he try to put his Mr. Goodbar into all of these Air-Heads? Jesse, I hope you get Atomic Fireballs from all of these Twix you’ve been messing around with. Instead of trying to get Good & Plenty outside, you should’ve been at home taking care of Sandra Bullocks Kit-Kat.

Tony Gets Something Off His Chest

Like many of you, I was stunned to learn that Ricky Martin was gay. He hid it so well.

You never can tell these days. Adam Lambert? Who knew? ClayAiken? I still find that hard to believe. Ricky sang “Living La Vida Loca.” Was he ever?

Good for you Ricky Martin. You’ve given me the courage to come out.

I would like to take this time and use this space to announce to the world that I too am gay. Yes as many of you suspected, I am a lesbian. God, that’s liberating.

Now I can wear my hair short and know the comfort of a flannel shirt. I can walk down the street holding my girl’s hand with pride. Thank you, Ricky.

I too will be living la vida loca.

Tony's Random Thoughts: 3/22/10

Bullock gets Blindsided

Cute little Sandra Bullock wins an Oscar and her husband Jesse James is sleeping with a woman who looks like the Number 6 Train to the Bronx circa 1975.
Michelle Bombshell, Jesse James’ crush, looks like something he would make in his Monster Garage.
This girl looks like Walt Disney threw up on her.
She looks like she was it, and unarmed in a paintball game.
She looks like Ed Hardy’s drop cloth!

Mission Impossible

Mr. Phelps (Peter Graves) went on his final mission.
I wonder whether his body self destructed fifteen seconds after his demise.
Surely his mortician will get a chance to see a grown man naked. I know, I know, don’t call him Shirley
When you visit him at the cemetery do you go to Peter Grave’s grave? What?? Too soon??

Tony Madoff?


Tony Madoff?? Tony f***ng Madoff? Are you nuts? Have you lost your mind? It’s time for the dog track Imus. No note. They can drop you off at the nearest home so that you could mumble along with the other nuts. I run a totally respectable and legitimate pool; strictly for entertainment purposes of course. You are besmirching my reputation and character because I’m a nice guy.

I know you don’t remember, but you assigned Warner Wolf and me to run the pool. Warner felt that it would be fun to draw the sixty-four tournament teams out of a hat, so that everyone would have an equal opportunity to win. Sure, that’s crazy, but never let it be said that Tony Powell is not a friend to the little people. What can I say? I have a soft spot for sports midgets.

So we set it up. Sixteen people would draw a tournament team from a hat four times giving them a team from each region of the tournament. Thusly, you would have a rooting interest in these four random teams as opposed to filling out traditional tournament brackets—a basketball raffle, if you will.  In doing the tournament this way, basketball knowledge was not required; any moron could win, because it was merely the luck of the draw.

Any moron except Imus. The I-Man was allowed to make his pick during each round at a time he selected. He could’ve gone first, second, last, next to last, whenever he chose. It was in his hands. We let him do it that way because he’s a big baby. This fool managed to select four #16 seeds. Most people couldn’t do that if they tried. The man who hit the lottery in life crapped out! Bernard actually had some of the best picks. Not one complaint on the draw when he thought he could win. Warner, whose idea it was, had lousy picks like Imus. Not one complaint. The last time I heard this much whining, Jeeeeeeesus was catering a wedding. 

Who won the tournament you ask? Basketball novice Gema Moreno, who knew absolutely nothing about basketball. The tourney premise worked. Last year we did brackets. No Imus no problem.  Imus, I wouldn’t let you in my pool if Mother Teresa was holding the money. In fact, if you managed to sneak in my pool I would have it drained and refilled.

You Too Can Be Jesse Jackson!

Using your best Reverend Jackson voice, say the following rhymes:

  • I watched the Oscars, it was a bunch of jive. I told Tarantino to Keep Hope Alive!
  • Giving Best Picture to Locker was no shocker, but I thought Inglorious should’ve been victorious.
  • I didn’t know The Blind Side was a movie; I thought it was about Governor Patterson’s aide.
  • Jeff Bridges won for Crazy Heart, it was a hell of a part. I must admit I thought I’d be steamin' that they didn’t give the statue to Morgan Freeman.
  • Bridges was a child actor in Sea Hunt, and Monique won for playing  one vicious...woman.
  • Gabby was on the red carpet wearing blue and looking hot. She said her dress was like a porno money shot.
  • I like Baldwin, but the other is a piece of work. He said he was born a poor black child...what a jerk.
  • Fuzzy Wuzzy wuz a bear  Monique you need a to get a weed whacker to shave that leg hair. You’re beautiful, you’re talented, so you should know better than to walk around wearing a leg sweater.


It felt good didn’t it?
