    Indeed there are official bodies that do that and the Senate website isn’t one of them. The VA does not consider cadets to be veterans and there was a court case which determined that cadets at military academies are not considered active-duty personnel and therefore ineligible for veterans benefits. I have a rather broad definition of what constitutes a veteran but a person who went to West Point for two years then dropped out is just a fucking college student.

    As there were earlier today. He was not a vet.

    I must say this has been a rough year for famous parents: Hutton Gibson, Arnold Spielberg, William Gates, and now Jackie. Next up Roberta McCain??

    That’s not an ISIS run anything. It’s the Hagia Sophia.

    The article specifies city employees. The original post is poorly phrased.

    You really should stop, it’s unkind to tease the mentally handicapped.

    Pat Robertson

    This is funny but doesn’t seem to be real. A simple Google search only brings up the tweet. There’s no need to make up stupid things Pat Robertson says he does that just fine on his own.

    That’s all I’m seeing as well. I hope it’s not true.

    From Cleric To Relic

    Update: With yesterday’s death of William McNaughton, the last American to attend, the number of bishops who were there has slipped to only 13 including one cardinal. The youngest is 87 and the oldest 104.

    I don’t know, I think it would have been better if it started wherever you live.

    Political Frailty

    Your list is a tad generous. I have a hard time describing Senator Andrews as having served, which is why I’ve never included him in the list of Senators already posted, he was at West Point during the war and quit once it was over.

    You beat me to it. She is also the last, I believe, of the widow Senators, wives appointed to fill their deceased husband’s term. Jean Carnahan doesn’t count as she was elected.

    Who Should Be On The 2020 Deathlist?

    Apologies to @msc I was certainly more scandalized by @The Old Crem’s statement and failed to read yours thoroughly.

    Who Should Be On The 2020 Deathlist?

    Max von Sydow isn’t deathlisty enough for you? Or for @msc? I really hope you mean not old/ill enough and not an issue of not famous enough.
