Death Impends 7,974 Posted December 17, 2012 Breaking news that Daniel Inouye has died. Though he was old and in hospital it's still a shame to hear IMO, I had much respect for his service during WWII. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another name to be scratched off the 2013 entry forms. Which I have to update on the main database, then update on the 2012 database, then update on the images folder (to make red), then update on all the previous years pages to say he died in 2012, then update on my excel spreadsheet for DDP 2013 and if necessary replace with subs and contact the team if he was a joker. Then... you the rest... The things I do for death... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted December 18, 2012 IWith Daniel Inouye and George McGoverns deaths and the obvious frailty of Bob Dole we're clearly in the middle of a run of ageing senators deaths.Dole will probably be next.He might even be the first hit of 2013 if he's on the list..

angryGreatness 96 Posted December 18, 2012 RIP Senator Inouye. Probably the most badass man to ever serve in Congress. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MCHjb50S20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Miser 18 Posted December 18, 2012 The passing of a legend. Dole will be another. Regardless of party, I don't think anyone can dispute the committment to country and exceptional leadership that will be lacking with these old guard veterans are gone. Now its more about who can be the most extreme so as to raise the most money from the base while hanging on to office. God bless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it is like that Gary Lineker quote about football, 180 stiffs and The Living End win at the end! Which is remarkable, really when you think about it. 180 scoring deaths an TLE is still at the top. Fantastic performance. The Ray Reardon of dead pooling...
