    My My My…
    Arthur C. Clarke dies and Tribute doesn’t even put in a picture. But he’s no Britney Spears, right tribute? I mean, he doesn’t lip sync songs that were written for him and try to take the credit. Nope. All he did was write over 100 books, Space Odyssey Included. Yawn….
    For all of you wondering what the world is coming to, this is it in a nutshell.
