I think that SOB “goes into a coma” when it suits him. The article in the link says he was seen at a rally in Tripoli last month, but back when Qadaffi was on the run, I distinctly remember seeing the bomber in his bed, “unconscious” with an IV, and his “grieving mother” at his side. Sorry, no cite, but I was confident enough of his coming demise then to make him an entry in this game. Bastard. :mad: ---

His austerity program helped his country recover from economic damage wrought by the policies of predecessor José López Portillo, but de la Madrid’s legacy was tarnished by his administration’s lack of response to Mexico City’s catastrophic 1985 earthquake. ---
