You’re right, Mike. In fact you’re right behind me among pool members. The way the numbers are shaping up, I call Ebert and/or Salinger next. Evens are outs.

I still contend that it is going to be a bad year for women in government– first ladies, queens, prime ministers, etc.
It seems that, post-jail, my Paris Hilton pick is probably inaccurate for this year, but there was a while there where it seemed she was a serious “maybe” on my list. Eh, I suppose she’s still just one night of binge drinking away.

Do you get bonus points for picking younger people? Do you count points by age (subtracting from 100)?
