    Political Frailty

    If you read the section "Obituary" you can see that this is a parody. Apparently he was "happy and smiling" in a "life support machine". lol

    The 100 Club

    I wonder if she was the longest lived first lady ever. I know there was a wife of a governor - general who also lived to 105 years but I can't find her on the internet anymore. There is also Soong Mei - ling who was 105 or 106 years old and Juliana Young Koo who lived to 111 but she was only a spouse of state leader, not a first lady.

    Has anyone else noticed a big decrease in number of famous centenarian deaths this year, especially among the 105+ people? It makes me feel like we are approaching time when people won't die anymore.

    If Li Rui survived more than a year with multiple organ failure, than Ershad will probably survive until 2021.

    African Leaders - Despots and Democratic

    Well, I think not every state leader can qualify as a despot. Moi, Mugabe and Kaunda definitely were despots as they had an authoritarian rule but not sure for others especially if someone was just a Prime minister in presidential system. Btw, Wade's father lived to 105 according to his words, and Nujoma's mother lived to 110 so they probably posess longetivity genes.

    Robert Mugabe

    I can totally relate to this, but have in mind that a lot of other African leaders who died in their 50s and 60s had this same cult of immortality and special powers. It seems to be a form of personality cult in countries with low educated population.

    There is only one problem - no sufficient proof that they are still alive.

    I read in another article that Tran Dai Quang had an autoritarian way of ruling which interfered wih private life of citizens and he was not very liked among other party members so I wouldnt be surprised if he was actually poisoned.

    Damn, I had hopes that Đo Muoi might become oldest state leader ever.
