- Eternal Father, strong to save,
- Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
- Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
- Its own appointed limits keep;
- Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
- For those in peril on the sea.
Captain Carrol LeFon USN, better known to many of us as Neptunus Lex, has died. After his retirement he flew F-21 Kfir's as a civilian contractor providing aggressor training to Navy and Air Force pilots. Yesterday, while performing that duty he perished in a crash.

Well, Crap.
Andrew Breitbart died last night.
11 months older than me...which...I'm thinking is really too young.
Few have had as much impact. With Drudge he really changed the media world.
More here and here.
In any event, reaction to this individuals passing reinforces my view that however infuriating it is to be on team stupid, it is a far more noble calling then the other side. Ace has further thoughts on that.
Note that this headline at the Telegraph seems to kick the guy by focusing on the Shirley Sherrod controversy, claiming that he maligned the woman through editing. That's not quite what happened.
