Dead Pool 2005 - my picks
My picks for the Dead Pool 2005 are (in no particular order):
- Saddam Hussein
- Dick Clark
- Mahmud Zahar - Hamas leader
- George H. W. Bush (the former President, not the current one)
- Osama Bin Laden
- Dick Cheney (the current VP)
- Robert Guillaume - the actor from "Benson" and "Sports Night"
- Liza Minelli
- Robert Byrd (US Senator)
- William Rehnquist (currently Chief Justics of the Supreme Court)
- Queen Elizabeth (of the UK)
- King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz Al Saud (current King of Saudi Arabia)
- James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek)
- Gerald Ford (the former US President)
- Whitney Houston
I didn't pick these people because I wanted them to die (well, except perhaps Osama Bin Laden) - I picked them because they are likely to die.

Dead Pool 2005
Laurence Simon is running the Dead Pool again for 2005. In order to participate, you have to have a blog (or be willing to make a small contribution) and select 15 identifiable people (not your neighbor - someone whose death will show up in the news) who you think/hope will die in 2005. The year boundary is marked by the ball in Times Square.
It's a little late to announce this, but if you can get your list together in the next 34 hours, you can enter by following the instructions at: Dead Pool
I have made my picks, and will be announcing them in a delayed post to be shown on January 1.
