Bernie Mac 1957-2008
I just now saw on CNN that comedian/actor Bernie Mac died. He was 50 years old. Evidently he had been in a Chicago area hospital with pneumonia. How sad.
I just had pneumonia myself only a few weeks ago. I guess I didn’t realize just how serious pneumonia was. Don’t get me wrong. I knew people die from pneumonia, but people die every year from the flu too.
He was truly a gifted comedian. He had a way of making anything funny. I enjoyed his movies and I enjoyed his sit-com, The Bernie Mac Show.
He will be missed.

Somehow I missed this over the weekend. This is terribly sad. He was one of the funniest, most original voices in stand-up comedy. I was a fan of his show, too. He was someone who nearly always made me pause in my channel surfing, and more often than not I stuck around to see what he had to say.
