Author unknown
How long we live is not for us to say.
We may have years ahead, or but a day.
The length of life is not of our control,
But length is not the measure of the soul…
Not length, but width and depth define the span
By which the world takes measure of a man.
It matters not how long before we sleep,
But only how wide is our life…..how deep.

Tony Snow was a man whose life was both wide and deep. He accomplished much in his years with us. And he did it with humor, civility, and a sharp intellect. He faced his cancer with great courage and grace. He was a shining example to us all.

God speed, Tony Snow.

Sorry to hear this.

“Tony Snow, 1955-2008”

This is secular demonology…

Why do I get the feeling that there will not be the same amount of coverage for Tony’s passing as was displayed at Tim Russerts news media orgy.

I made the mistake of taking a look at what was being said about him at DailyKosNutjob; what a fetid and festering cesspool of humanity if you can call the majority of posters there human.

When I heard he’d returned to public life, I thought it was because he was beating this terrible thing. A man of great gifts and sunny disposition…
