is dead. Just in case you missed the CNN Breaking News page at 2 this morning.

God, er, Superman
 

it appears that b'nb picked the wrong former superhero (Adam West, still kicking). and I've added paigow's hit for Rodney Dangerfield to the official tally. hard to belive that is the only hit in the last couple of weeks considering the recent rash of celebrity deaths.

God, er, Superman
 

Just you wait. One of these days, Pow! Blammo! Ker-splat! And you all will be saying, "Holy dead superhero, Bn'B...."

I missed it, but apparently Jaques Derrida died earlier this month.

RIP
 

Not technically celebrities, but I mourn their loss nonetheless.

some of my favorite music from early punk is on "Peel Sessions" Cds -Buzzcocks/Gang of Four especially.

Poll- what celebrity do wish would die (divorced form the contest- how can Al Lewis keep going?)?

I briefly saw Alan Alda in a movie last night, and thought I could do without him making any more movies. Insufferable pompous sself-righteous shit.

Not a celebritney, but I'm sure I could do without Chinaski posts.

You have to list all the rules of the poll, don't you?

1. Don't say W.
2. Really, we mean it.
3. Cheney is probably off-limits too.

And, Hank, isn't it sort of callous to wish death on anyone? Someone told me that once in connection with this pool.

(I'd say Michael Jackson if I wasn't worried that the coverage of his death alone would drive me bonkers, so instead I'll say OJ.)

I don't remember that. I do remember someone saying it was callous to celebrate the deaths of celebrities.

Really, we do mean it. (spree: someone said W)

So, then would Katherine Harris be off limits?

Arafat doesn't sound too well.

Not technically a celebrity but...
