Fans of the Chicago Bears legend William "the Refrigerator" Perry can breathe a sigh of relief. The former defensive lineman is alive -- despite an erroneous Twitter report to the contrary that surfaced Wednesday (Aug. 14) morning.
"I know he is not dead," Perry's agent, Adam Plotkin, tells the Chicago Tribune. "I talked to Michael Dean (Perry) a few minutes ago. And i know the Bears were down there interviewing Fridge on Saturday for coach (Mike) Ditka's (jersey) retirement. But I did talk to Michael Dean, and he had gotten some calls, too, and Michael Dean said it was Ok to confirm that Fridge is fine."
Plotkin says Michael Dean (Perry's brother) received a call saying that someone named William Perry had died, but it was just a case of a shared name. "He is completely fine," Plotkin assures.
Perry confirmed his living status himself on Wednesday, tweeting at @FridgePerry72:...

GI Joe is the best known fighting force in the world. Better equipped than the Sas. More elite than Delta Force. Their origins go all the way back to 1964 at the heart of the Cold War with America facing challenges in Cuba, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam. Their mission changed and crystallized with the emergence of a global terror network in 1982. No, not Scientology.
We’re talking about Cobra and, a year later, the Iron Grenadiers.
Trillions of dollars of the Us budget were poured into research & development, training & recruitment, global intelligence assets, and more. No expense was spared. GI Joe has a reputation of heroic soldiers, daring missions, and vehicles created by American super-science.
And that reputation … is crap. Absolute crap.
Ever wonder why after 30 years, GI Joe is still fighting Cobra? Ever notice that all of the same people that started in Cobra are still in Cobra (the Baroness,...

As tension in the Korean Peninsula escalates, former Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre reminds us that we've been here before. The Clinton administration was poised on the brink of war in 1994.
It was a tense scene in the White House cabinet room. On June 16, 1994, Defense Secretary William Perry and Joint Chiefs Chairman John Shalikashvili were briefing President Clinton and his National Security Council on options for defending South Korea against the distinct possibility North Korea might soon attack.

"We knew we were poised on the brink of a war that might involve weapons of mass destruction," Perry recalled in his 1999 book, Preventive Defense. "When the president entered the room he was more somber than usual; indeed everyone there recognized the gravity of the situation."
Just two days earlier Perry had huddled with his military commanders over a plan to launch a surprise attack,...
