Our mindful Left Coast reporter Bill recently filed this story regarding the passing of one Tim Mckay: Tim was an activist and long time executive director of the Northcoast Environmental Center (NEC) in Arcata. He passed Sunday of an apparent heart attack whilst birding at Stone Lagoon. He was 59. As a rare bird himself, one hopes that perhaps his heart gave out after seeing the rarest bird on his life list. He was the main man at the NEC for most of it’s thirty five year existence. Making sure that environmental wrongs were exposed and then corrected,he was needed not only by us enviros but also by the Charles Hurwitzs’ and Harry Merlos’ of the world, as every evil doer needs their Batman.
Editor’s note: Tim McKay’s reported last sighting was of a Cooper’s Hawk. You may of course interpret this as per your current theology/philosophy/&etc deems reasonable.

Andy Richardson was beaten to death in the mosh pit at a recent Korn concert. Apparently Mr. Richardson took his heavily pregnant wife and mentally challenged offspring into the mosh pit and asked others in said pit to kindly refrain from jostling his companions. Missing the entire emphasis of the current Korn tour another mosh piter punched Mr. Richardson in the head whereupon he fell heavily to the concrete floor.

Is anyone truely surprised by Mel Gibson’s rant? Seriously? Consider the bizarre religious beliefs Mr. Gibson (son AND especially father) hold near and dear and Ta! Da! Mel’s anti-Semitism rant seems to have an obvious launch pad: in Mel’s tiny world the Jews are responsible for what he believes is the most heinous crime in all of history - the death of Jesus. Perhaps a ticket price refund is in order. We do know that Mel skipped the On Deck circle and rushed his career directly to the front of the Our Daily Dead queue. We didn’t realize that Mel and Tom were related, did you?
