You’ve never heard of Hubert J. “Hub” Schlafly Jr., but if you’ve seen a major political speech in the past generation, you know his work.  Schlafly invented the TelePrompTer and changed public address in America. He died April 20th in Connecticut.

He will always live on in our memories... who else can say their invention helped get someone elected President?

In other news, CNN announced that Obama will preside over a memorial service to be held on the White House lawn.

Memorial to whom and what?

But wasn't Phyllis Schlafly a (gasp) Republican?

Will Obama call for a moment of silence and flags flown at half staff?

He would, but his teleprompter is in mourning so he can't string two words together at the moment.
