RIP Dick Trickle. He probably should have had a doctor check that out.

Bonnie Franklin, RIP http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2286697/One-Day-At-A-Time-star-Bonnie-Franklin-69-dies-battle-pancreatic-cancer.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

I just figured I'd start with the first number on the list and let 'em work their way down. I don't have a favorite order. If Lindsay Lohan and Justin Bieber go down to boot, it'll be a good year.

The Enquirer has been claiming that Hillary has brain cancer. I just wouldn't put her on a list, yet. I gotta wonder if she really has been thinking of running for president. She thought she would be too old four years ago when she lost the Democratic nomination to Obama. Do they still let presidents sleep through meetings like Reagan did? Is that still a thing? HW, on the other hand, despite being more serious could very well pull through as long as he's getting good care. It's just going to take him several months. I have him on my lists, though.

The guy above has been decomposing for the last 16 years. I'm sure if you compared recent photos of the two, you could see the difference more clearly. You dig?

I'm betting otherwise. I wouldn't care one way or the other, but points are points.

There's a farewell headline in there somewhere. SO LONG HUGO CHAVEZ, YOU FAT CUNT 1954 - 2013.

Well, they put god on US money, so the answer is .... yes.

He's really old. Isn't that enough for the pool? ;-)

Bush Sr. went into ICU in guarded condition. As in, I didn't really think this particular stint was going to kill him. He's still in hospital, though, with a fever and his general health isn't good. I think he's still a good bet for some time next year.

I remembered that Bob Brunning had died (late 2011) which made it a little harder to find Bob Welch. Bob Brunning was the original bassist.

Fixed. Bob Welch wasn't a founding member of Fleetwood Mac.

Just submitted my 2013 picks and hoping for the best ... or worst. It'll be a learning experience, anyway.

A couple more old folks to consider: Carla Laemmle (103), actress and niece of Carl Laemmle Luise Rainer (103 in January), First actress to win two Oscars. Lupita Tovar (102), actress, Universal's spanish Dracula Norman Lloyd (98), actor, St. Elsewhere, Dead Poets Society Professor Irwin Corey (98), comedian

... until 2013 when he's worth points?

The news this morning is that George HW Bush is currently in intensive care, his condition is guarded, after spending a month in hospital for a cough and has now developed a fever. Parkinson's had already put him in a wheelchair.

Ralph Klein, (politics, age 70) - former premier of Alberta, Canada for 14 years and recent recipient of the Order of Canada suffers from emphysema and a rare form of dementia. He can only speak a few short words and phrases and spends much of his day napping. George HW Bush (41st US President, age 88) - has spent over a month in hospital getting over a bad cough Dick Cheney (46th US Vice-President, age 71) - had a heart transplant earlier this year at the age of 71 Nelson Mandela (politics, age 94) - spent over 2 weeks in hospital over Christmas for a lung infection which has recurred often since his bout with tuberculosis in prison. Fred Phelps (founder of the hateful Westboro Baptist Church, age 83) - has been in ill health for a couple of years. Annette Funicello (former actress and Mouseketeer, age 70) - suffering from multiple sclerosis since 1992, she now needs round-the-clock care to stay alive. Ronnie Biggs (Great Train Robbery, age 83) - has suffered two strokes and cancer. Is currently unable to walk or talk. Roger Ebert (movie critic, age 70) - lost his jaw to cancer and is not currently feeling too well after a couple of health issues this year. Doyle Brunson (poker player, age 79) - suffered his 4th cancer scare this year, high blood pressure and overall health is fading. Robert Mugabe (dictator, age 88) - prostate cancer and overall failing health Ayman al-Zawahiri (Al-Quaeda 2nd-in-command, age 61) - maybe we'll get lucky and a drone flying over Pakistan will take him down. Marcia Strassman (actress, Welcome Back Kotter, age 64) - stage IV breast cancer in 2007 had spread to her bones. Zsa Zsa Gabor (actress, age 95) - bedridden and suffering from dementia, she apparently only realized her leg was amputated 18 months after the fact. Penny Marshall (actress, Laverne & Shirley, age 70) - diagnosed with brain and lung cancer in 2009, her weight has ballooned. Leif Garrett (actor, age 51) - He was on Celebrity Rehab for a serious heroin addiction; that show is due for another death after 4 earlier deaths due to drug-related causes. Leif, Steven Adler and Seth Binzer would be your best bets there. Lindsay Lohan (actor, age 26) - She turns 27 in 2013 and may likely join the 27 Club due to heavy drug use. Justin Bieber (singer, age 18) - healthy so far but still hopeful it could change. :-D

In the U.S, The Onion is still a good source of, um, news.

Bat Boy from the now defunct Weekly World News.

Well, nothing's going to happen if you don't speak up, eh?

Just joined today. I wanted to make sure Justin Bieber got enough votes for inclusion on next year's death list.

It seems to me that most of us are going to hell thanks to Jesus' bizarre list of requirements. Well, that would include me certainly. We could also discuss why most of us will be in the same boat. Wouldn't it have been better for most of us if Jesus had completely abandoned "the plan"?
