I realize this article may not belong in the midst of what is an attempt at serious political commentary, but I will miss Soupy Sales.  I spent my teenage years in New Jersey, about thirty minutes outside of New York City.  After my classmates and I outgrew American Bandstand, we turned to Soupy Sales when we came home from school.  I really can’t say what his humor was, but we all loved him.  He represents a time when television stars were gentlemen, well-mannered, and freely gave autographs.  He will be missed.
