No, Ms. Goody wasn't always an ideal role model, but toward the end of her life, she did use her celebrity to help her fellow countrywomen, and to help look after her children. I think she handled her circumstances to the best of her ability, and there is something to be said for that. That being said, Mr. Leith lived one hell of a life, and deserves to be recognized for it. May both Ms. Goody and Mr. Leith rest in peace. Hi, Corbin.

Name one thing she did because it was the right thing to do when there were no cameras around. Bill Leith, on the other hand, is the absolute definition of a hero. He was selfless, he worked hard and sacrificed for something larger than himself. He realized it was not all about him. Jane Goody was no hero, on any level.

First was the British MP representative to the EU and now Mr. Leith. Maybe the rest of Great Britain will wake up to the realization of the trouble they and the rest of the world are in.

It is inevitable therefore that the media casts round for any old flash-and-bash "star" to moon over - or moan over. Fifteen minutes of fame indeed, but thanks to the likes of Bill Leith we are relatively free to allow our media whores to chase these fifteen-minuters. Sadly we are facing yet more troubled times, and it might not be so easy to find the heroes who will stand up to the islamists and the squanderers and the eco-wingnuts. But let's hope they emerge soon.
