The Miser

Good chance for this to be first hit.

I kinda like this pick.

Better then last year. I agree that Megrahi and Hitchens should have made it. I also would have found a place for Penny Marshall and Mubarak. Overall, much better effort this year. Not that anyone cares what I think.

Docs worried about condition of Brazilian VP Published December 23, 2010 | EFE Read more: http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/politics/.../#ixzz19Rm46tsW The medical team treated Brazilian Vice President Jose Alencar managed to stop the bleeding from an intestinal tumor, but his condition remains "worrying," Sao Paulo's Sirio-Libanes Hospital said Thursday. Alencar remains in the intensive care unit "for treatment of a digestive hemorrhage attributed to the bleeding tumor in the small intestine," the hospital said in a bulletin. The bleeding significantly decreased during the night and the vice president is awake and alert. The 79-year-old Alencar, who has been battling cancer for more than a decade, is breathing on his own, doctors said. "The vice president is at the most difficult moment, when the illness begins to be more aggressive, but we don't want to say that it is out of control," attending physician Raul Cutait told reporters. Alencar was released from Sirio-Libanes just six days ago after a month-long hospitalization. He has undergone 17 surgical procedures aimed at containing the effects of the intestinal tumor. A textile magnate affiliated with a small, center-right party, Alencar agreed in 2002 to become the running mate of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, founder of the center-left Workers Party, and remained on the ticket in 2006. Lula and Alencar will leave office Jan. 1, to be succeeded by Dilma Rousseff and Michel Temer. The president and president-elect visited Alencar at the hospital on Thursday. Lula has said he is confident Alencar will recover in time to take part in the New Year's Day inauguration ceremony. Read more: http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/politics/.../#ixzz19RkBmLYC

Just submitted. I did last name first, let me know if you want me to fix it.

Swayze's pancreatic cancer is stable now too. He may be worth a shot.

Any update on him?

Let me start out 2011. This is again a bad pick.

Happy Birthday JC!

Spite is vastly underrated. Many happy returns of the season CP!

None. I think that Clive Dunn and the ? family will all see 2012

None. I think we are done for the year.

I think Aretha Franklin will be quite popular as well.

No, you're not alone. No, it sounds fishy to me too. I suspect he may have been a fall guy, and one of the reasons why the compassionate release was achieved so quickly was because some people in high places in several governments knew he wasn't the one. It's likely we'll never find out, though. I'm sure that he is a peach of a guy. I wish he was my father and raised me to be as wonderful a guy as he turned out to be. He should be given the Nobel Prize. Either way...please die in the next 20 days...I'm sure he will be assumed body and soul into the afterlife.

WJBK FOX 2 News in Detroit confirms that Franklin has cancer. A family insider told the station that she's doing, "OK," but they ask for the public's prayers.

Just send in 20 names (+ up 3 subs). Make sure the joker is on the top of your list... You have done a tremendous job!

A better candidate then Eli Wallach

What a dandy!

'Tis the season...I'm back from a bit of a break...since CP is updating I need to get on the stick.

God bless him...

God, this guy's resilient. Will he ever pop it? Ronnie Biggs has only a short time left.His death wil be the first of many 'hits' in the weeks ahead.Prepare for news within a week or so Just die already...

He may be getting a transplant soon. I had one of these suckers in me before getting a transplant. I bet that he won't get a heart. His age will decrease the chances that he gets one. Most hospitals will cut it off at age 60.

Welcome back! Thanks for all the hard work!

I can't wait as well. 14 points for Harwell and Yar'. Maybe top 5.

Convinced me...Fignon
