If any of these need explaination Amarone, just let me know.
No, no, just whoosing, being a smart ass, whatever. 
I don’t mean to be a total dick, but I’m kind of hoping poor Zelda steps into the light in the next 24 hours, just to watch the scrambling to get lists changed.
You didn’t have him for 2009, did you?

Well, aside from ushering Walter Cronkite into his last deadline and getting a unique pick for the brave Corazon Aquino, I have breathed life into everybody on my 2009 list. Here are the people for 2010; this year, I’m going for a bit more youthfulness (relax, Robert Morgenthau), although many perennials are still there:
- George H.W. Bush, 41st President
- Ariel Sharon, still only officially alive for nearly four years now
- George Steinbrenner, couldn’t come up from Florida for the World Championship, not a good sign
- Peter Falk, suffering from Alzheimer’s (9/16/27)
- Amy Winehouse, pulling a Joplin
- Margaret Thatcher, Baroness (10/13/25)
- Elizabeth Edwards, wronged wife and cancer sufferer (7/13/49)
- Kim Jong-il, although Obama doesn’t need this on his plate too
- Bryant Gumbel, lung cancer is nasty (9/29/48)
- Paul Gascoigne, ex-soccer player, sorry Gazza (5/27/67)
- Ruth Bader Ginsburg, see #8 about Obama’s plate
- Maura Tierney (with regret, huge NEWSRADIO fan)
- Nancy Reagan
Alternates:
Andy Dick, evidently the Abe Vigoda of his generation
Dick Cheney. Just because.
Plain vanilla list:
George H.W. Bush
Ariel Sharon
George Steinbrenner
Peter Falk
Amy Winehouse
Margaret Thatcher
Elizabeth Edwards
Kim Jong-il
Bryant Gumbel
Paul Gascoigne
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Maura Tierney
Nancy Reagan
Andy Dick
Dick Cheney
