Hugh Hefner

William Shatner

Ruth Bader Ginsberg

Kirk Douglas

Kim Jong Un. I’m not particular, a coup or assassination will work just fine for me.

Miriam Moskowitz

Betty White, she gots to go sooner or later.

Robert Mugabe

For this round I will again choose the Ding Dong Gentleman, Leslie Phillips. Comic actor Who has been in over 150 films and television shows. Known early in his career for the Carry On and the Doctor film series.

Memorable phrase “Ding Dong, you’re not wrong”

Maria Teresa Thierstein Simões-Ferreira Kerry

Chuck Yeager. Seriously Chuck live forever,ok?

Olivia de havilland

poached:

John McCain

Moving from my usual political choices, when I saw this I laughed my a** off.

In San Francisco, south the former Army post at the Presidio is an exclusive neighborhood of 35 multi-million dollar mansions. Being rich Leftists, they got title to the streets and easements. Being rich Leftists, the neighborhood has the city maintain the streets and easements, and for some reason they are only assessed $14 [fourteen dollars] a year total in taxes for those streets and easements.

The homeowners’ association, being rich Leftists, did not think that making sure the taxes were paid was worth their attention [they sent the money to a former accountant who doesn’t work for them anymore, ignoring the fact that he did not work for them]. When the taxes, penalties, and interest reached a bit over $900, it went up for tax auction. It cost a bit over $90k after a bidding war, but Tina Lam and Michael Cheng bought full legal title to the streets, easements, and incidentally the guard shack and gate at the only entrance. And they say that they are going to monetize their investment.

The rich Leftists are having litters of kittens, born with claws fully extended. They are suing to overturn the tax sale [which happened a couple of years ago, but the couple did not announce their ownership until they thought they had it all locked down].

I have no doubt that since the rule of law does not exist, and all the judges have price tags attached, that the rich Leftists are likely to win. In which case I hope Tina Lam and Michael Cheng turn the streets and easements into a homeless refuge. But if they win, I expect that said rich Leftists will have them whacked.

Tina Lam and Michael Cheng [who actually live in San Jose, California], in the street, by Left-wing Guido’s. I’m sure that before the bodies hit the pavement the coroner’s certificate will say “natural causes”.

Jimmy Carter

Herman Wouk

102 years young!

Billy Graham. He’s one person who shouldn’t have to witness the Book of Revelation firsthand.

Since I decided to go with Charlotte Rae last time instead of Martin Landau after having Leslie Phillips poached, I guess I’m just gonna stick with ol’ Charlotte since she’s gotta some time.

Late to the party…so….Jerry Lewis is as good a pick as any.

Henry Kissinger

(HRH Prince Phillip seems to have recovered remarkably – good on him!)

I’m sticking with Burt Reynolds.

Beverly Cleary (hope I don’t win)

OK Gene Hackman one more time

Sticking with Paul Erlich

Full Dislosure: Secretly, I’d really, RILLY! like to see Uncle Al ring da gong…and Damnquick!! – this time out…I simply would dearly luuurve to watch the spectacle as President Trump would swing into action, and deliver his second Supreme Court Justice appointment…Particularly dee-lightful, as it would dispose of one of the very most regrettable (In)Justices of all time, grungy ol’ Ruthie BadNews Ginsberg…

As for myself, I will adhere to my usual mode – fondly wishing Red-assed Insaney-Janey Fonda an early and (preferably) painful demise…c’mon, Janey, jes’ step right over to these-here tracks, an’ give that S.F. cable-car a big ol’ smooch on the front railing as it comes down the hill! Atta girl, you can do it, you know you can!!

Desmond Tutu

Dammit, late again. Back to the diabeetus pick – Antoine “Fats” Domino

George H. W. Bush

Angela Lansbury

Charlie Sheen.

Dan Rather

Yee-haaa!

Bill Clinton; still poached.

Clive James

Sir Bruce Forsyth

Just a cheap Hollywood pick this time: 1940s-50s glamour girl Janis Paige. Oh, those legs!

John Glenn

Oh, and just to cool down any odometer fever: this is actually the 97th Dead Pool. There were two #10s and two #24s, but no 29, 30, 65, or 81.

Robert Fuller. Not that I want it to happen but I’ve been watching Laramie a lot lately.

Dick van Dyke

Henry Kissinger – I still flip flop in my opinion of him as either evil genius, just evil, or just maybe, genius. Certainly RealPolitk is a speciality of his.

He pioneered the policy of détente with the Soviet Union, orchestrated the opening of relations with the People’s Republic of China, and negotiated the Paris Peace Accords, ending American involvement in the Vietnam War. Kissinger has also been associated with such controversial policies as CIA involvement in Chile and U.S. support for Pakistan, despite the genocide during the Bangladesh War. I have no doubt whatsoever that that his fingerprints were on both Bushs’ Iraq wars for better or worse.

Anyhow, Hell is no doubt in need of some foreign advice after Trump’s surprise election victory so let’s send them an expert. Better that than giving the Republicans advice on North Korea.

Sorry, @Some Vegetable i, but Mad Ivan grabbed Kissinger some hours back.

Ramsey Clark please great angel of death.

Thanks, Uncle Al….

Then I’ll fall back on a guy who probably is more needed in Hell than Kissinger – George Soros. I think he already has a desk there for when he checks in with his boss.

Yoko Ono

While squalling in agony, surrounded by a crowd of hipsters who dutifully applaud her “performance art”, and then freak the fuck out when they realize she’s dead.

It would truly take a heart of stone not to laugh at that.

Nicolás Maduro Moros

Nancy Pelosi

since no one poached her majesty yet, i shall… elizabeth II.

Sinead O’Connor – Nothing funny or insightful to add, apparently suicidal. Never cared for her politics, good voice though.

Actor, Norman Lloyd–Dr. Daniel Auschlander, “St. Elsewhere” TV series

Rosalyn Carter

and durnedyankee…check your man’s pulse there

Methinks Fritz sabotaged the official timepiece at The Estate, thus inconveniencing my preferred pick. Perhaps Skeptic colluded with him in this endeavor. Rationalization complete, I shall prepare for both of their entertainment, perhaps for a joint visit?

I must then go with the blustering prick Ed Asner.

Phil the Greek aka Her Maj’s consort.

The terrible lizard Jiang Zemin, of something stolen Falun Gong body parts cannot cure.

I feel compelled – in the interest of fairness – to “back up” ama‘s comment: durnedyankee, John H. Glenn, he of “The Right Stuff”, took his Final Flight last year – December 8, 2016 – at the ripe old age of 95. You should perhaps make another selection?…

Huma Abedeen. The feds are getting closer and she must know a great many secrets. Some sort of suicide if Bill and Hill’s luck with staffers holds true to form.

Chris Mathews. He’s not too terribly old but all the insanity he spouts is surely to make his head explode one of these days.

Durnedyankee…John Glenn slipped the surly bond back in ’06

Oh, and Lester, I too lost track of time and missed my chance at once again claiming one of the DP’s perennial favorites…Olivia D’Havilland. I had a good excuse though, I was splitting 4 cords of beautifully aged Michigan oak..plenty of extra wood for you to heat The Estate this winter…it’s awfully drafty down in your ‘basement’.

Late again, But I can still go with Harry Belafonte… It’s time…

Roberta McCain.

Completely spaced on this again.

Changing it up once again and selecting singer, songwriter, satirist, and mathematician TOM LEHRER.

89 years old and not getting any younger.

Aretha Franklin

Late to the party….I’ll go with Angela Merkel

Never weighed in before, but I submit Keith Olbermann.

No, he’s not old or in poor health, but if anybody seems heading for an on air aneurism… I’d pay money to watch him check out on TV.

typo, J. Glenn passed in 2016.

Barbra Bush. She’s due and she’s been having issues.

Willie Nelson

RIP, Joseph Bologna. Always liked him.

Pope Benedict aka Joseph Ratzinger

Gordon Lightfoot. Reports of his death have so far proved fictitious. But I mean — he was born in 1938!

Jerry Lee Lewis.

(“The Killer” – NOT the comedian / member of the Rat Pack… he’s already claimed.)

If it’s Brown, flush it down. Gordon Brown. I never expect to win this thing but if it’s still going in thirty years’ time I might have a chance.

I’m sticking with John Glenn.
I suppose that means I can’t pick Myrna Loy either.

Well, I’m going with John Podesta then.
Mysterious suicide while weight lifting on a nude fishing trip at Fort Marcy Park.

Charles Manson

Michael Moore, choking on a whole chicken.

How come no one picks Clint Eastwood? Come on, he’s 87!

Alan Greenspan.

Rose Marie

RIP, Bruce Forsyth.

Carl’s got it.

Ric’s correct, and it does seem that Carl’s pick has won this round of the Dead Pool:

BBC article here: Sir Bruce Forsyth: TV legend dies aged 89

Argentium: did you see my message, four posts down? Drop me a line at stoaty@sweasel.com

Carl Reiner

Perennial Dead Pool favorite Jerry Lewis shuffled off the mortal coil betwixt picks – no dick for his kick.

Oh Jerry… couldn’t ya have waited a few more days?
I was going to pick you again on Friday…you got the last laugh…

and since I’m kavetching…I was the first to bring Glen Campbell into the Pool almost two years ago…picked him regularly until Lester and I got into a pissing match over Olivia de Havilland…

that Anonymous is thefritz…

Poor thefritz – second pick, missed the dick!

Everybody is dying off!

Ever see the old movie On Borrowed Time?

Dick Gregory also gone. RIP

The death of James Dresnok, who died last Nov, is confirmed. No RIP. He was an American soldier who defected to the norks during the Korean War. If you saw the documentary, Crossing the Line, you can see what a nasty human being he was. Just awful.
