I tried to track down the first article cjhsa referred to (link doesn't work) and couldn't find it anywhere. In searching, though, found this:
Quote:Saturday, Reeve entered the hospital, suffering from an infected bedsore. Just before he went in, however, he left a message on Sen. John Kerry's cell phone, expressing his delight that Kerry had invoked Reeve during the previous night's debate with President George W. Bush. A voter had asked about the ethics of embryonic stem cell research.

Here's the complete text from the second link:
Quote:October 11th, 2004 - According to sources close to the actor, Reeve died Sunday. The actor fell into a coma after going into cardiac arrest at his New York home.
Reeve is best known for portraying "Superman" in the late 70s and 80s. He also wrote and directed programs for film and television.
In June of 1995, Reeve broke his neck after falling from a horse during a steeplechase race. He was left paralyzed from the accident.
In more recent years, Reeve became a strong advocate of spinal cord research. Reeve was just mentioned Friday in the second live Presidential debate as senator John Kerry spoke of stem cell research.
Reeve was 52.
Note, nothing about "Thursday".
Which blog are you getting this stuff, chjsa? Is it the same one? Doesn't seem very trustworthy... (Note, I'm assuming that you got this somewhere rather than fabricating it yourself...)
