Arnold Palmer.


All the picks are posted on the first page.

I'm no psychic (though I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express), but I got a bad feeling about this one: Gerald Ford.

The man was the picture of good health for decades after the Presidency took its toll on him, but he hasn't been seen much lately.

ejr might have to update his address info pretty soon.

Good luck and Best Wishes, Mr. President.

And he was too ill, or frail to attend the dedication of the Clinton Library last year which is why I picked him.

Also came across this today when I did a search about his health.

Recently, there has been ongoing speculation regarding Ford's health. Though he gave an interview to Larry King in June 2004, attended the funeral of former President Reagan, and spoke at ceremonies commemorating the 30th anniversary of his swearing-in in August 2004, Ford has appeared increasingly frail – and this may have caused him to cut back on his formerly busy schedule. He was, for the first time in his political life, unable to attend a Republican National Convention when he didn't attend the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. In addition, Ford was the only living former president not to attend ceremonies for the opening of the Bill Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas. Former president Bill Clinton told Larry King in an interview that Ford had confided that he now feels uncomfortable when flying in aircraft. He was the only living former president not to attend the second inauguration of President George W. Bush in 2005.

When New York Republican Governor George Pataki named the living former presidents as honorary members of the board rebuilding the World Trade Center, he was unaware of Ford's health decline in the recent months.

In 2003, Ford's death was incorrectly announced by CNN when his pre-written obituary (along with those of several other famous figures) was inadvertently published on CNN's web site due to a lapse in password protection

"Pre-written obituary".

I hope I don't ever get to the point that someone is just waiting for ME to die...

I think he would have qualified as "critically ill" but who knows.

I'm debating whether to ditch Walter or not. I'm afraid I'd be subjected to the same "submit" fate as Frankie.

Congratulations, Don.
(Sorry, Bob.)

I guess we losers can expect a PM from st.somewhere in regards to mailing a buck to the lucky winner?

For those of us in the Philly area, NBC10 and Wawa stores have teamed up to support the Red Cross. When you go to the checkout, there is a display and a $1.00 "coupon" you can tear off. When they ring you up, they scan the coupon, it adds a dollar to your bill, and that money goes to the Red Cross. (pretty slick IMO)

Here's more info:

and since the woman at my local wawa knows me, she has taken to just ringing up one of those coupons with my coffee each morning. I figure if I can afford coffee and smokes, I can certainly afford a buck extra.

I would love to be in round 4, too.
