They come in threes: Celebrity Deaths

[Corinthian Warrior]

They come in threes - celebrity deaths: Will we have a trinity of nilhilists? Howard Zinn dies Jan 27. JD Salinger dies Jan 29. Who is next?

[Political Junkie Too]

I grouped Pernell Roberts (1/24/10) with James Mitchell (1/22/10) and Jean Simmons (1/22/10) last week.

JD Salinger was a “celebrity” of the shortest order. A middling author who elevated himself and his work (note the singular) by evacuating the public discourse. Irony of ironies, the “phony” is dead.

[SoldierDad]

Can’t post a recommendation without risking a visit from you-know-who!

[fantom]

Dennis has been a Republican all of his adult life .

[dead]

That’s two. Third guy is country.

[Roccus]

OK

Next time I’ll try to keep up.

Good one Soldier Dad. I’ll pass on my recommendation, too, so you-know-who won’t come a calling.

Okay, Louis Auchincloss died Tuesday, J. D. Salinger died Wednesday, so I was wondering who the third preppy writer was going to be.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Jimmie Dale Gilmore? Smokey?

[dead]

Nice job! Pick up your prize at the reception desk.

They do not come in threes. Some people just stop counting when they reach three.

Means nothing.

Bingo. Surely people don't actually believe the "they come in threes" nonsense, do they?

[beckysueb]

Oh that would be so nice. I was thinking about He who must not be named but $oro$ would just replace him.

[garyhope]

I’m with you on this one. I have a very long, long list of so called “celebrity” candidates that I’m a wishin’ ‘n a hopin’ for to pass into the great beyond ASAP.

Dennis Hopper is OK and he’s a good art collector who supports the arts in a good way with his own cash.

[muir_redwoods]

Pernell Roberts?

[PghBaldy]

Bobby Short?

[Erasmus]

The lead Nihilist Peter Stormare (on the right) is a Swedish actor who also portrayed the VW scientist/engineer in the “pimp your ride” commercials.

Oh, snap!!!

[antiRepublicrat]

With Pernell Roberts and these two I thought we already had our three.

And I never thought of him as Adam Cartwright, but as Trapper John.

[antiRepublicrat]

Jean Simmons is gone? That’s the saddest of them all lately.

She was already an elegant older lady by the time I knew who she was as a kid, and I was surprised at how incredibly beautiful she was when I saw her in older movies.

[Fred Hayek]

Another pinko hopefully and hopefully a young one.

Michael Moore?
