*shocked gasp* This is totally morbid and inappropriate! What on Earth are you thinking?!?!

...switch out Mary Kate Olsen for Britney Spears. She's WAY too stupid/crazy to live all the way through next year.

This list is totally unresearched. If anyone on this list is ALREADY dead, let me know ( ... )

Edwards is smart (and evil). Alan Greenspan had a big hand in putting us in the mess we're in today (he advocated people getting ARMs in speeches). Katy beat you to 50 Cent.

I was trying to remember which one was the anorexic Olsen, as that one seems to be the most likely to kick it.

Andy Rooney's too cranky to die.

Al Sadr seems a good pick, I was actually thinking of just finding the names of the current Iraqi cabinet ministers and making them my list.

We also considered Lebanese generals, especially anti-Syria ones.

Is it bad that I'm actually putting thought into my list?

Tom and I spent a long time discussing our/his list last night...of course, I was knitting the whole time, so it wasn't my sole focus.

I know this counts for nothing - but my half completed list looks like this:

1) Paris Hilton - choosing a new young and foolish celebrity.
2) Queen Elizabeth II - My grandmother hopes she'll live long enough to pass the crown over her son straight to William - he's old enough now and out of college...
3) Willem Lange - VPR commentator who does a lot of stuff but sounds so old. I love his commentary, I have to admit I've worried about not hearing him when he dies. He'll probably drop a tree on his head while cutting firewood or something.
4) Michael Gambon - Plays Albus Dumbledore in the movies - the first time I saw him playing the part I thought "he's too old, he'll die before they're done with the series" if it happens there will be rumors of the position being cursed!
5) Benazir Bhutto - how many times have attempts to kill her already been made?
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
11)
12)
13)
Alt)

ideas:
famous US person
evil country leader-ish
actors?
old news anchor?
musician? - ozzie - maybe too clean now? guns n' roses guy?See how I have a ( ... )

Dmitry Medvedev is a good choice, though I think you might be a year early. Putin can't run for prez again due to term limits, but if he become Prime Minister next election, he can regain the presidency if the sitting president dies. I don't think they'd actually assume their new offices till '09 though.
