    Author Tom Clancy, whose novel, "The Hunt for Red October" propelled him to fame, fortune and status as a favorite storyteller of the American military, has died, according to sources with his publisher and family. He was 66.

    Be Easy, Tom.

    Shame the collection of leftists they used to play his main character of Jack Ryan. Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck. Oy.

    Sad news. My day has been full of it for some reason. Found out about two people that lost dogs, and a young man that was found in the Mississippi River.

    Come on, Harrison Ford isn't so bad. He's an action hero kind of actor, unlike the other two-they may have done roles in action movies, but the movies weren't very good.


    Anyways, Connery was the star of The Hunt For Red October, if that's any consolation.
