Tough week this week... We lost Da Crusher and William Proxmire!
Da Crusher = old school wrestling legend! 'nuff said!
William Proxmire = Legendary WI Democratic Senator - don't care what political party your from, most agree this guy was one of the last great senators this country has seen. He fought hard for the little guy/common people, fought hard against government waste with his "golden fleece" awards each month. In his entire time in office he never once traveled on the government's dime, turned back in his allowance each year for office, etc expenses one year it was like $900,000. He never even accepted campaign contributions, got elected in 1982 with reported $146 in campaign contributions - got elected basically by beating the streets and shaking hands and on TALENT. Amazing guy I urge you to check out web or newspaper articles about him and remember what politicians are supposed to be all about - SELFLESS CIVIL SERVICE!
