Federal government workers get a day off for presidential deaths. I think I enjoyed one when Nixon died. p.s. If anyone has the time, I'd be interested to see an update of scores for the 2018 death pool. As a reminder, I think everyone was supposed to ante up $25 for it -- winner takes all, which I doubt will be me. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

As a suggestion for next year maybe we have one thread for picks only and another for one for traditional discussion to make scorekeeping easier? I think you and I both got two each. Not sure the rest. The President is a fink. |

My understanding was that there is an optional $20 side pool. http://diversitytomorrow.com/thread/2507/0/#post92343 "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

It is looking good for SOOPOO. McCain, Bush, and Lima makes 3. It would take a surprise young death (like Bieber) for me to lose, I think.... I think I'll spend the money on a tenth of a pair of shoes for my girl. Mike can attest..... |

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that when I heard this news, my first thought was, "Isn't "Rerun" already dead?" |

Actually, they hardly go 5 minutes without indirect slights to Trump with comments adding up essentially to remembering when we didn't have the current oaf in the Oval Office. I'd almost surprised I don't hear a comment that dead HW Bush smells better than live Trump. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

41 had been circling the drain for years. His death is no surprise to anyone. There is plenty of time to both celebrate his life and still get in some good Trump bashing. Lots of big Mueller court docs coming in the next two weeks. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

From what I have seen, the "liberal biased fake news media" has expressed nothing but respect for President George H. W. Bush. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |
