Seems not to have hit the mainstream media so much as Ted Kennedy is taken to the hospital, bombs are exploding in India and Syria, and Obama almost unanimously is viewed as the winner of the first debate...but it seems Paul Newman, actor, liberal political activist, and philanthropist has died. Details on Daily Kos. And it seems confirmed by Newman's Own, the company founded by Paul Newman which donates all its profits to charity.

If you want to honor Newman's memory, please donate to Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang, a camp for children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

UPDATE: Now seeing it hit the MSM.
