RE Kaing Guek Eav AKA Comrade Duch was discharged on November the 13th and sent back to prison.

 

"We did not hope he would survive". Why the fuck did you grant him treatment, morons?

Betty (Flanagan) Bumpers, first lady of Arkansas from 1971 to 1975 and a childhood immunizations activist has died aged 93, from complications of dementia and a broken hip.

 

She was the spouse of former US Senator for Arkansas, Dale Bumpers, who also died from Alzheimers in 2016. Funnily(?) enough, he also had a broken hip around the time he died.

Perennial Mississippi candidate Shawn O'Hara dead at 60:

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/mississippi/articles/2018-11-23/shawn-ohara-perennial-candidate-in-mississippi-dies-at-60

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_O'Hara

 

He was a candidate for the Democrats and the Reform Party, for mayor, senator, governor, senator, treasurer, attorney general, auditor and lieutenant governor, sometimes for all at once. His platform was pro-Confederacy, pro-marihuana, lower gas prices, and some other minor issues.

His second claim to fame was that he was perennially being not-Jean Louis Trintignant.

Update on the above: Harry Leslie Smith appears to have had a fall and has pneumonia for the 2nd time this year. Well enough for a cup of tea, but still in the emergency ward, on Nil by mouth,  and has refused intubation.

 

 

imo this is likely to be (or near enough) Harry's Last Stand...

Harry's Twitter feed has gone silent for 12 hours.His sons last message was "It's mortal" .he is now on a feeding tube and has both sepsis and pneumonia.

Oregon Secretary of State Dennis Richardson has been diagnosed with brain cancer...

Some interesting follow up info 4 months hence.  Or lack thereof.  He doesn't seem forthright about his treatment, and avers to running for office in 2020.  That's the bottom line if you don't want to bother opening the link lol.  He has had to pawn of a couple of his duties though cuz 'treatment' is taking a toll.  Also discusses his appearance.

Taiwan former dictator president Lee Teng-Hui is now wheelchair bound, but still travelling outside his country.


In a wheelchair, yet his 95-yr old arse somehow managed to 'fall and hit his head on the floor'.  
Bandaged up and sent home.

Lee has "minor" brain bleeding, is in ICU and will probably be hospitalized for a long time.

Kathleen Blanco still making public appearances, but has revealed further metastasis of her cancer :skill2:

A cert for 2019 imo. Question is whether she makes the drop 40 or not. It’ll definitely be close though...

Nicholas Soames, speaking in support of Tezza's "deal", signals the end of his "political life".

 

So, Nick, not taking a peerage if it's offered? Aye, right.
