Notable Deaths of 2009
By Sean Loughlin - AOL NewsThis year saw the deaths of artists and athletes, politicians and pioneers, the seemingly ordinary and the obviously extraordinary. The deaths were sometimes expected, like the loss of the world's oldest woman. But often, they were so sudden and stunning, like the death of superstar Michael Jackson, they seemed to take our breath away.

Top 10 Lists of 2009 Google Searches Dominated by Democrats, but Not Obama
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyGoogle on Tuesday released the top searches within the United States for 2009; the results are surprising and interesting.

Never Can Say Goodbye to Farrah, Michael
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyOn Thursday, I was already saddened by Farrah Fawcett's death because she reminded me of those years when I watched her, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith fight bad guys and flirt with the unseen Charlie on "Charlie's Angels." That was light fare, but I admired Farrah's work in the "Burning Bed" and the raw emotions she portrayed. I felt a heaviness when I learned of her death after a courageous fight against cancer. Troubled, I sent a text to my husband about it while he was at work. Farrah represented part of my '70s childhood and adolescence. She was the smiling blonde in the poster who made ...
