Buchwald’s Satire Laid To Rest. Well Kinda.

American humorist and hobnobber to esteemed folk of stature worldwide, Art Buchwald died today at 81. For a small man who dreamed big, Buchwald was magnamiously prolific. Playing scribe to over thirty books and picking up a Pulitzer along the way for his syndicated column.

As The Chicago Tribune pointed out today, even in his death, Buchwald sought out comic relief.

The comic columnist's passing had no sooner been announced Thursday—nearly a year later than his doctors had predicted—than a video of him appeared on The New York Times Web site.

"Hi, I'm Art Buchwald and I just died," the humorist says, an impish smile playing across his face.

To view Art's video, go to the NY Times site and scroll halfway down the page. His is one of the many famous people The NY Times will be profiling as part of their "Last Word" series in which they interview legends and record their obits online.

Naturally, Art has to be a trailblazer. And get the last laugh. Lucky for us, we're a pretty easy crowd. We'll take what we can get.

Your size not merely affects appearance, but also the overall quality of life. Self-esteem, depressive disorder, health risks, along with physical capabilities are affected in excess weight. It is possible to do everything right and at the same time having a gain. If this happens, a condition may be the reason.
