*MASSIVE HUGS*
I almost never switch the TV on and haven't watched any show for over a year (with the exception of when you were here for a visit) so I didn't see that. However, I was told by friends who still watch the show that he left to work for Obama, so it's a good thing even though they (writers) handled it badly. Links were left her in the comments about it anyway. I was told the decision to leave the show was quite recent which explains that they (writers again) had to come up with something quickly.

Here's hoping something cheers you up very soon. :)
