Here we are in late October. Election Day is less than one week away, and I am up to my neck in work-related preparations.
But, never mind that now. It's time to get my picks in for Death Pool 2010-2011. The current season ends on Halloween and, unless about 15 of the people on my list suddenly drop dead, it will go down as one of Lady Macbeth's worst season's ever. Only two people on my list (Robert Byrd and John Wooden) passed away, earning me a grand total of just six points.
Of course, that leaves plenty of leftovers who are clearly living on borrowed time. So, with just a couple of tweaks, here is Lady Macbeth's list:
- 20. Zsa Zsa Gabor
- 19. Billy Graham
- 18. Nancy Reagan
- 17. Betty Ford
- 16. Kirk Douglas
- 15. Michael Douglas
- 14. Ariel Sharon
- 13. Kim Jong Il
- 12. Jerry Lewis
- 11. Louis Farrakhan
- 10. Stephen Hawking
- 9. George H.W. Bush
- 8. Ernest Borgnine
- 7. Olivia De Havilland
- 6. Abe Vigoda
- 5. Mickey Rooney
- 4. Margaret Thatcher
- 3. Phyllis Diller
- 2. Helen Thomas
- 1. Nicole Polizzi (Snookie from “Jersey Shore”)
