Missed One

It was just realized that Bettie Paige died on December 11th. While her death is worth just 15 points, it begins to give me a respectable total for the year. And, of course, there's still a few more days for someone to kick it!

Merry Christmas Dave

On Wednesday author and playwright Harold Pinter died of cancer. Pinter was a Nobel-winning author as well as outspoken critic of Tony Blair and George Bush. He was 78 years old.

Pinter's death is huge for Dave. Not only does he jump into the lead with 85 points, it is quite likely that this will be final death for 2008. Our draft this year is scheduled for Jan 1, 2009.
