I love Meet the Press. I know it’s nerdy, but I don’t care. Sunday mornings were all about pancakes and Meet The Press.

Sadly, this probably won’t be the case anymore. It’s being reported on the New York Post online that Tim Russert died this afternoon from an apparent heart attack. The 58-year-old anchor of Meet the Press was badass — if not always seemingly a little bugged out — and is responsible for making a lot of political pundits squirm in their seats and stutter like little girls.

According to The Post:

“Tim Russert, NBC journalist and political heavyweight host of “Meet the Press,” has died after collapsing at NBC’s Washington news bureau, a source said…

Russert joined NBC News in 1984. In April 1985, he supervised the live broadcasts of the Today program from Rome, negotiating and arranging an appearance by Pope John Paul II – a first for American television. In 1986 and 1987 Russert led NBC News weeklong broadcasts from South America, Australia and China.

In 2008, Time Magazine named him one of the world’s 100 most influential people.”

Dude, you and your challenging political questions will be missed. Especially in my apartment. On Sundays.

The last time we heard this much about Prince Harry, England’s third in line for the throne, was after all those kooky pictures surfaced of his royal highness done up like a Nazi at a fancy dress party in 2005.

After that highly embarrassing incident, Harry, of course, apologized profusely, and, being as the world couldn’t resist those ginger locks and easy going charm, everyone outside of the UK sort of went back to an–albeit slightly suspicious–indifference. After all, he’s probably never going to be king and he’s not as cute as Prince William who has those endearingly large chompers and an adorable crush on Beyonce.

The focus has returned back to the younger brother, however, when a story surfaced on the Drudge Report that the 23-year old has been fighting on the frontlines of Afganistan since December. The British press had agreed to keep Prince Harry’s location quiet after early plans to deploy Harry to Iraq were scrapped fearing security risks. Since this leak, The “Bullet Magnet” of Wales has been pulled out of active combat and will be sent back to the UK fearing for the safety of the Prince as a high priority target of the Taliban.
