Who’s Next…?
This has been a very sad week for America: first Reagan, now Ray Charles. The boys at Reason believe these things happen in threes, and Im apt to agree with that. But if this is true, it begs the question: whos next? Bush jumped out of a plane today to celebrate his birthday and he didnt croak, so we can scratch him off. The Pope is still alive, technically, but he seems like too easy a choice. Im guessing the third person will be a bit more esoteric — too bad Herve Villechaize isnt around anymore.
If any of you want to get in on my dead pool, let me know. My vote is going to Ted McGinley, whose penchant for destroying everything he touches is well noted. If Im right, then we can all say that January, 2004 was when America Jumped the Shark.
