    Is Mikheil Saakashvili in danger? Will Russia go and take care of business in other countries?

    Sylvia Kristel

    I'm certain there is a thread for Sylvia. Can't be arsed looking for it though. Maybe later. We seem to be on a roll with porn/erotica actresses lately, with Lena Nyman, Tura Satana, Maria Schneider and Sexy Cora all dropping within a few weeks of each other! She is on my radar...tribute pick for late nights on cable TV as a teenager.

    2011 Death List

    Just as he was sure to last year and the year before! I've kept the faith and kept him as my DDP joker...for the third year running. That goes some way to answering your question. Indeed Windsor, so I am guessing he will be your joker in 2012 too . I do hope you don't have my joker in your pool, he is a member of the aristocracy though and might appeal to you, nothing online about him since December 2009 but local knowledge tells me that treatment stopped last April and nothing more can be done. I don't. Although he does seem to be a rather popular pick this year...which is probably bad news for me. Guy Innes-Ker, 10th Duke of Roxburghe? He was in my shadow list last year, along side the late Duke of Hamilton. I dropped Roxburghe due to lack of news. I didn't view him as the top prospect or even top 10. I thought that he was in the 15-20 range to rank them, making him DDP worthy. I find it hard to see the argument that he doesn't belong on the top 50, but it isn't my list. The truth is that most regular contributors do much better in picking 50 then the "Committee". In short, this site is a great research tool but the top 50 is usually pretty worthless, other then to haze.

    Sarah Palin

    Its more then a stretch...there isn't any nexus established. There is no evidence that he ever viewed any of Palin's material. One thing is for sure. The left will use this to try to stiffen gun controls and this is a serious setback for pot legalization since this guy was a habitual user and lost his shit. In the end, everyone will try to shape the debate there own way. What should be the real focus is the failure of the mental health system to identify this guy as a danger. As far as Palin's political career, it was already considered dead in many circles. She is no threat to winning any national office. She will continue to be a talking head/fundraiser; maybe senator from Alaska someday. I wouldn't worry about her being POTUS.

    Bob Dole

    unidentifiable illness is always a good sign (for us). I'm sure he'll last until around september though at least, and could even make it to 2012 and beyond. Released from hospital. His people are saying that the problems were nothing serious. Back in with fever...maybe serious. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/on...hospitalized-/1

    Fergie Frederiksen

    Its a fair question that I hadn't considered. I used him in my US pool but not DDP. I think he swings an obit somehow though. ....but I think that this was a bold and interesting pick for the committee.
