    Arlen Specter is dead.

    Arlen Specter is dead.
    This guy was a legendary senator, I voted for him in 2004 splitting my vote with him and Kerry. Though in the Democratic Primary of 2010, I voted for Joe Sestak, only because I thought Arlen Specter should have retired, and it turns out I was right. Good guy though. Though his Kennedy magic bullet theory was crazy :-p

    Or are we talking about some other Kennedy magic bullet theory?

    Taking a piss, though I would like it to be true.

    I thought so, but felt it best to check. I've seen people not know some stranger shit than that.

    George McGovern is dead.
  • GregGreg
    He was like Kissinger: very important in the 70s, but whenever I heard anything about him all I could think was "holy shit, he's still alive?"

    What are the results from last year's predictions?
  • JasonJason
    I won with 75 points in 2012 for Robin Gibb, Joe Paterno, Ray Bradbury, and Andy Griffith. Lisa had 52 points for Ernest Borgnine, Andy Griffith, Dick Clark, and Joe Paterno.
  • Victor FrostVictor Frost
    You know, I was wondering why Dick Clark wasn't present during "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve".

    Seacrest ate him to gain his power.

    David R. Ellis (director of such fine films as Final Destination 2, Final Destination 4: Live Free or Final Destination, Shark Night 3D: At Least We're Better Than Jaws 3D, and MUTHAFUCKIN' Snakes on a MUTHAFUCKIN' Plane) was found dead in a hotel in Johannesburg, cause of death unknown. Only 60. :(

    No joke, I legitimately enjoyed a bunch of the man's work. FD4 was a big guilty pleasure of mine when it came out, and say what you will about SoaP, I had a lot of fun on the internet around when that movie was coming out. The fact that Ellis and Jackson actually made THAT line happen is just awesome.



    Godspeed, dude. Hope you're punchin' muthafuckin' snakes in the hereafter.
