ezs note:  When most people reach age 65, they leave their jobs and sip margaritas.  And that's about it.  Not Kathy Noble.  She was an icon.  She was a campaigner.  Sadly, she passed away this week.  Rest in peace, Kathy.

Okayyyyy... it happens... but THIS one takes the cake.  Today, NBC - a "respected" network, reported the tragic murder of Jennifer Laude without once using her chosen female name... using the correct pronouns... or using the term 'Filipina' rather than 'Filipino'.  This is beyond moronic for any national network.  

Shame.
