Recommended Posts

 

 

The big question for the DDP. Should we include or exclude mr Carter from our lists?

Well the good news is that he is also the 25 point pick on my inverse deadpool so win-win.

 

 

Speaking of being smug...is there an award for this sweepstake, and when do you stop cheating bastards from putting in a late entry to steal my glory?

Nobody could enter after 2015. And as for award? When you visit Estonia, then let me know. But before of that - try to win.

This is kind of random, but I just found out Jimmy Carter was a distant cousin of June Carter Cash, singer and beloved wife of Johnny Cash. He was friends with them too.

I do kind of feel sorry for Jimmy Carter. I mean yeah the guy is in remission and he still has his wife but to lose your grandson just after going into remission losing all your younger siblings before 65 and also losing friends and relatives like June and Johnny must be horrible in a sense that you have outlived nearly all your generation. I guess that is just the price one pays for getting old.

Betty White too. Despite being the oldest, she outlived all her Golden Girls co-stars, and it looks like she's going to outlive some MTM stars: Harper, Moore, maybe even Leachman, Asner and MacLeod.

Yeah....about Jimmy Carter being 'cancer free'.... guess again....

 

"They haven't detected any cancer, but sometimes the cancer spots [return]," Carter said, "including in my brain."
​Didn't Sir Creep expound on that a month ago? http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=1430&p=243606
Brain cancer (in a 91 year old) doesn't diss-a-fucking-peer. SC gets big kudos and eventually another 'hit' by year's end. As for you non-believers....

We knew that he wasn't completely cured. What we said was that he shouldn't be Number 1 anymore.

Well Jimmy does appear to be doing very well. He is still a well justified pick though based on his notability and cancer.If he had been omitted and died this year we would look very foolish.

Isn't melanoma cancer on, uuhh. the top of the skin? I could imagine they can scrape it away as it returns, for a while... as long as it doesn't spread which might happen at any point.

Normally it is on the skin (although Oliver Sacks died of ocular melanoma, which is a primary cancer of the eye), but in Jimmy's case it has already spread to his liver and brains. Metastatic melanoma has carried a dismal prognosis until very recently, but in the last few years advances in immunotherapy have changed the picture. (That being said, it probably means he'll live a bit longer, rather than being cured.)

he is now in a race with George Bush snr on who will die first (please don't make a poll).

Carter's former cabinet member, and first secretary of education Shirley Hufstedler died a couple of days ago at 90, he eulogizes her:

 

http://www.realcleareducation.com/articles/2016/03/31/jimmy_carter_shirley_hufstedler_was_invaluable_a_trailblazer_1279.html

 

 

Meaning his recall and command of the English language is still in fine shape

On a related note,I actually wonder if Kirk Douglas writes his Huffington Post columns himself,. He probably dictates them and someone else translates it into something coherent.

Anyway my money is on him exiting earthly being on either

February 29 of 2016 or else stringing us all along until December 31 of the same year, and expiring somewhere around 11:59 (that'd be 23:59 on the 24 hour clock).

Date taken.

Carter scaling back as he resigns from, "prominent NGO position".

 

I guess the fact that the Carter Center was not available for comment might be telling.

 

OTOH, the fact that he'll now be an "emeritus Elder" is almost hilarious. (Being an Elder alongside the likes of Kofi Annan was already a typical "emeritus" position.)
