Well, no point in not jumping on the bandwagon as it passes by (on?)
Here is my new improved list with the addition of some low hanging fruit:
New and improved plain list is:
Reshma
Ronnie James Dio
Candye Kane
Irwin Barker
Paul Quarrington
Bryant Gumbel
Johnny Hallyday
Morrissey
Zelda Rubinstein
Chester Bennington
Mehdi Hassan
Jack Savidge
Steve Jobs
Alternates:
Elton John
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Elizabeth Edwards
Robert Byrd
Changes were to demote Elton John to 1st Alternate (he seems to have recovered from the flu etc) and addition of Zelda Rubinstein.
Speaking of Hail Marys, Rush Limbaugh was on my list from early in the month, but he was going to be just the Hail Mary pick. Who knew it was going to become a bandwagon pick?
He appears to be getting better, but I think his drug consumption will catch up with him eventually. BTW I’m not talking just about illegal drugs here, pain does not disappear all of the sudden, and something had to replace the Oxycontin. But I think that like Michael Jackson, Rush’s doctors could have a hard time saying no to higher doses of what he is getting now.
