Rebecca Blank, acting US Secretary of Commerce from 2011 to 2013, dead at 67.

Yeah I agree I am English but certainly veer to the right but as you rightly say Carter Is a figure than transcends political allegiances and I regard him very highly for the fact he has been resolute in what he believes over decades whilst being pragmatic in his opinions and ensuring his post presidency has been spent in the service of others rather than courting the press for brand recognition. This is certainly a sad day.Hoping his final hours/days / weeks are as peaceful as they can be.

That's it this time. Long live the king of immortals.

Gonna be sad when history’s greatest monster dies:

Smokey Robinson is 83.

Just heard the news, not that I matter. I have to say, 7 and a half years with liver cancer at his age. He's done fantastically. He survived the horror of Ronald Reagan beating him and now this.

It's not insane, sorry, you want the judges you appoint to be young. And senior judges are not "on the bench". They get replaced by a successor and often handle just enough to keep their offices.

It'll do It's nearly Gudgeon

Talking about his longevity, he just surpassed Bob Dole's final age of 98 years and 136 days on 15th February when he reached the age of 98 years and 137 days

Coincidentally, James Callaghan was the longest-lived England Prime Minister and Jimmy Carter is the longest-lived US president

I'm totally fine with that! New pic, old pic,random pic, iconic pic - whatever it's all good!

I've mentioned this previously but in some parts of the world seems like hospice care just isn't a thing. Tu Tongjin has been in hospital for a decade and god knows what condition he's in now as he was on oxygen and wheelchairbound the last time he was seen around seven or eight years ago. Yan Mingfu's suffered from some degenerative disease for more than a decade and was suffering from a liver disease nearly two decades ago. Lots of examples from other Asian/African countries too, Indian politician Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee has been in late stages of COPD for years now.

I believe Stella Stevens is a hit here for Perhaps, perhaps.

Quite saddened by this news. A genuinely decent person, which is very rare to say in politics. But certainly a life well lived. Still, the long awaited TJS presidential hit not far off.. and the DI presidential obit.

A huge turn around

Feels weird to say this about a 98-year-old who has lasted longer than anyone expected, but this is very sad news to me. Fuck what you think about his politics or his presidency, he was a good man in an environment that produces plenty of terrible men. I hope his final days are peaceful.

Incredible Jimmy made 98 given that he was the eldest of 4 children who other than him are all long gone: Gloria (1926_1990) 63 Ruth (1929_1983) 54 Billy (1937_1988) 51 All died of pancreatic cancer.Jimmy apparently was the only non smoker which probably explains how he was able to live so much longer.

A 42 year post presidency isn't enough for a man who's time outside of the office has been filled with so much goodness.

Only at cockney accents.

I don’t understand Why he wasn’t ever nº1… probably the most prominent pick of the list right ?

It'd be very fitting if Dick expired after tripping over an Ottoman.
