I shoulda known it, my very first whooshing

And I am sure you will feel a lot better knowing it was supplied by a Yorkshireman.

Lloyd Thaxton, host of a one-of-kind TV teen dance party in the '60s, dies at age 81.

Bob Friend, longtime presenter for Sky News, has died at 70

Eileen Herlie, best known for portraying Myrtle Fargate on All My Children, dead at 90.

I liked the character. She was the maternal figure who knows everything about everybody and reveals nothing.

Probably of no interest to anyone but myself: Youngest son of Preston Tucker dies.

Jorg Haider, long controversial figure in the politics of Austria, has died in a car accident at 58

Sports broadcasting icon Gil Stratton dies at age 86.

Stratton also appeared in the film “Girl Crazy” with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, singing “Embraceable You” in duet with Garland.

Batman theme composer Neal Hefti dies at age 85.

DEADMAN!

Eve would be proud of you for that post, I’m sure. (She always liked the witty death notices.)

Dick Cheney may or may not be circling the drain.

::crosses fingers so tightly as to cut off circulation::

That’s not abnormal heart rhythm, that’s his heart desperately trying to escape from his evil corpse.

If Cheney actually died now, so close to the election, would they even bother swearing in a new VP for the time that is left?

Game show host Jack Narz has died at age 85.

Two former members of the US House, Matthew Rinaldo and Paul Rogers, die on the 13th, at the ages of 77 and 87.

For those who prefer sport, Tom Tresh, Yankees shortstop of the 1960s, has died at 71

The drain was circling him, until he shot it.

Edie Adams, singer and actress, dead at age 81. She flirted with a cigar long before Monica Lewinsky.

Probably not. The office has been left vacant on many occasions, including as recently as from August to December of 1974. John Tyler, who took over after William Henry Harrison’s one-month presidency of 1841, never got a veep during his nearly four-year term!
