We are here just for a spell and then pass on. So get a few laughs and do the best you can. Live your life so that whenever you lose it, you are ahead.

Andrew Breitbart was born on this day in 1969
Andrew Breitbart — an American journalist who founded Breitbart News and co-founded HuffPost — was born on this day — February 1, 1969 — in Los Angeles, California. Tragically, he passed away in 2012.
Mr. Breitbart is best remembered for his formulation “politics is downstream from culture” – which has come to be known as The Breitbart Doctrine. He was educated at the Brentwood School and holds a BA in American studies from Tulane University.
