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.

Tony Clayton Powell on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

Joe Lieberman is supporting a repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t tell. Good! I’ve been a long time supporter of repealing D.A.D.T. First of all, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell sounds stupid.  President Clinton passed on my suggested name for the policy; STFU. It stands for shut the ……well you know what it stands for.
As a retired veteran…of the Eagle Scouts, I’m pretty sure that I’ve served along side some gay men, like our scout leader Mr. Gerard.  I suspected Mr. Gerard might have been gay but never asked. He was a great scout leader. He taught us many valuable skills and life lessons, like how to sew our patches on our uniforms. He would often tell us how fierce and fabulous the patches looked on our uniforms. That built our self –esteem. He also taught us how to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together. He said he practiced that technique with our other Scout leader Mr. Bruce, in their tent, the night before. I don’t think our scout leader Mr. Gerard was gay, but his boyfriend Mr. Bruce definitely was. They were great leaders and great teachers. It’s naïve to believe that gay men and women haven’t been risking their lives and serving our country with distinction. Have you ever been to an Army / Navy game? There are a whole lot of grunts and seamen in there. They all end up in a pile. When somebody scores, a canon goes off. It couldn’t be gayer if Fosse choreographed it.

Celebrating Great Achievements in Black History -Jesse Owens

Jesse Owens won four gold medals in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. That's impressive until you think about the circumstances.Jesse Owens in 1936 Berlin was as popular as Barack Obama would be at a 2010 Tea Party.  Nobody was pulling for him.

Jesse was a track athlete, and Black man, in Nazi Germany. We're not talking Neo-Nazi we're talking The Old Nazis. Monocles, leather jack boots, we have ways of making you talk Nazis. He won gold in the 100, 200, Long Jump, and The 4X100 relay.

People have talked about what a great feat it was to beat Hitler's Aryan supermen in their homeland. I see it a little differently. You're black in Hitler's Germany, somebody fires a gun and you have four Nazis chasing you .... you damn right you are going to run fast. The trick was getting him to stop. Do you know who won the Silver in the 100M? Ralph Metcalf. Owens black teammate. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Usain Bolt never has that kind of pressure.

Two and a Half Men and their Crazy Ass Wives

The shows stars and their wives have lost their minds. First Charlie ends up in jail after choking his crackhead wife  Brooke Mueller.

The last place you want to be if you're Charlie Sheen is in jail. You know them guys are going to want to see if you're really wearing Hanes. Two and a Half Men? Try five.

Then Jon Cryer's wife, Sarah Trigger, tried to have him killed. Sarah trigger was looking for somebody to pull the trigger.

Health Care Summit Observations

Senator Chuck Grassley sounds like Mr. Haney from Green Acres

John Boehner needs to chill with the spray on tans. Looked like the Situation. He was darker than The President.

Harry Reid reminds you of the guy that screams at you to get off of his lawn.

You could see that most of them were lying because their lips were moving. Everybody except Mitch McConnell. He has no lips. Boy can't even use a straw. Fool can't whistle.

You don't want to play poker with Nancy Pelosi because you cannot read her face.
