RIP Rue McClanahan 1934-2010

We will miss you Blanche Devereaux!  Rue's passing is a great loss to us all.  Now there is only one Golden Girl left, the iconic Betty White.  The dictionary definition of rue is to feel sorrow over; repent of; regret bitterly: to rue the loss of opportunities. While this does not describe Rue McClanahan in life at all, it certainly describes her death.  I'm off to console myself with a slice of cheesecake and a Golden Girls marathon.
