Getting Ridiculous

As you probably know by now, Senator Edward Kennedy died at the age of 77. And as you probably have guessed, Izzy gets 23 more points. It's turning into a rout!

Izzy Rules

Conservative political journalist Robert Novak died on Tuesday. He had been battling brain cancer. He was 78 years old.

That gives Izzy another 22 points - like he needs it! But it also puts him in the lead for the 'most deaths' side-bet.

One More for Jim

Another member of the famed Kennedy family has passed away. Eunice Kennedy Shriver died at the age of 88. She was the sister of President John Kennedy. She was known for her charitable work including the creation of the Special Olympics.

Her death is the third for me this year and puts me back into second place. However, the way things have been going lately, don't be surprised if there's another post by the end of the day!
