For a split second, I Read that as Morgan Freeman. :eek:
Edith Shain, aka “the one getting kissed in that V-J Day picture”, dead at 91.
ugh. down to the last few days of this month – this vital month! – and my list remains frustratingly alive. Curse them all.
Oeiginal Kinks’s guitarist Peter Quaife, dead at 66.
Dick Cheney hospitalized, but as per usual, they’ll feed him a couple fresh newborn baby hearts and he’ll be on his way.
Irwin Barker, 58, one of the funniest Canadians to not move South, passed away Monday from leiomyosarcoma.
He was given 12 months to live 3 years ago. His last appearance was only a few months ago at a cancer research fundraiser. He was still finding the humour in his most dire circumstances.
Of course, being so open with his struggle gave a few of us 42 sweet points.
And now Senator Byrd has died: WASHINGTON (AP) – Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the longest-serving senator in history, has died at 92.
CNN link to Senator Byrd’s passing.
Eight points for me, and presumably a bunch of others.
Yup, that’s only my second pick this year.
So Big Coal has lost a supporter. 21 mountain tops to be removed in his honor.
Adios, ya doddering old fool.
He yet lives and walks the earth. Curses.
I am on vacation without my spreadsheet, so I cannot tell you. The usual monthly update will be a little late also - probably July 6.
But I did have Irwin Barker on my list.
By my logic, this should extend the 2010 pool until January 6 or so, right? 
I might could still have a chance then!
Ugh, over halfway through the year and right now it looks like the only way I’ll get any points is if a plane carrying Blake Edwards, Florence Henderson, and Christopher Lee back to Hollywood crashes into a Kansas tribute concert featuring Van Halen, the Rolling Stones and Amy Winehouse held at the Playboy Mansion and being hosted by Al Roker
Who would sing “Carry On Wayward Son?” Mick Jagger or David Lee Roth?
David Foster, former CEO of Colgate-Palmolive Corporation, dead at age 90.
He was a great supporter of the LPGA Golf Tour from 30 years ago.
Well, halfway through my first year of this, and a certain triskaidectet continues to insist on keeping me a death-pool virgin.
The reaper’s been busy but I don’t care for his aim. I wonder if there’s something I can do to, um, point him toward the right targets? What do reapers like?
liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti
Algirdas Brazauskas, who served as the first president of Lithuania after the Baltic state gained independence during the breakup of the Soviet Union, has died at the age of 77. After his 1993-98 presidential term, Brazauskas returned to national government in 2001 as prime minister, and held that post for five years.
