Looks like it’s being talked about on Twitter, but I can’t find anything on my usual news sources.
Of course, Lyndon LaRouche would say reports of his death are just another plot by Queen Elizabeth, the Jews, Greenpeace, and Satanists.
According to who?
Between mentions of it on Twitter, and Wikipedia (temporarily) listing yesterday as his date of death, I was fooled, it looks like. Such is life.
Lyndon LaRouche is the new Abe Vigoda!
He and Henry Kissinger are both gonna piss me off by living forever, I’m starting to think.
They’re about the same age, too: LaRouche is 96, and Kissinger turns 96 in May.
Lyndon LaRouche’s death is now being noted by a reputable source.
Or maybe that’s what they WANT us to believe.
But, after all that fuss, a pointless exit.
Betty Ballantine has died at the age of 99.
World Golf Hall of Famer Gene the Swing Machine Littler threw a Rod.
Age 88.
He won 29 times on the PGATour, including 5 tournaments after being diagnosed with cancer in the early 70’s. He was a contemporary of Billy Casper and Arnold Palmer and won the 1954 San Diego Open as an amateur.
I have a few people connected with golf on my list, but not Gene.
Lee Radziwill dead at 15 points
Choosing her 10 times since 2002 has finally paid off.
No change in the rankings, but more points and another unique pick.

Patrick Caddell, Jimmy Carter’s pollster back in 1976, dies at age 68.
Ganz, of course, is also well-known for playing Hitler in the movie “Downfall,” about the last days of Hitler and ww2. A clip from that film quickly became an internet meme under the title “Hitler hates the ______”
I remember him mostly from those two Wim Wenders movies.
My Downfall mashup:
William E. Butterworth III better known as W.E.B. Griffin dead at 89. Author of over 250 books under multiple pseudonyms. His Griffin books were a quick enjoyable read with vivid likable characters. I liked that his military books explored parts of history that were almost lost to history.
Pretty sure nobody had Kofi Burbridge. This one really makes me sad, I’ve seen TTB a handful of times and he was such a big part of the dynamic of that group. Watching him and Derek Trucks play off each other was such a treat.
I knew I’d heard of him. He wrote most of the MAS*H books in the 70’s.
