Had he lived, he would have been 67 today. He is one of my heroes. It’s one of my greatest regrets that I never met the chap – when I first started daubing oil paint around and buying his books, it came as something of a shock to...

Given MSNBC's ratings.... I know you didn't see this... I'm sure most libs didn't see it either... I think Bob Ross was busy painting a picture of His Majesty the President... so the competition between PBS and MSNBC was fierce. It's simple...Fox News is as much real news as this bullshit ...
