"They had one for Regan for years."

Why would they prepare an advance obit for Donald Regan? He wasn't important enought for more than 30 seconds when he died in 2003.

I would love to write it myself, but words fail me--too many negatives do not make for a good obit.

"Isn't the Anti-Christ supposed to be someone thought to have died?"


NO! It is the world system that receives the "deadly wound" and the anti-christ (instead of jesus) gets to come and play "peace", "peace", "peace", maker.

This is a good idea since the hospital (picked by Hillary?) where clinton had the operation has the highest death rate in NY state!

MSNBC almost simultaneously was preparing a video package of the former president's obituary -- just in case.

Fox News did the same thing, except every third clip was "I did not...have...sexual...relations...with that woman, Miss Lewinsky..."

</humor>

Has to be a head wound, IIRC.

Obits are prewritten and updated for all famous people. But you know that, don't you?

I checked on mine. It said "He's dead."

I work for a network (I won't mention the name) in sports and I once saw a practice drill special report on our TV screens that the pope had died. The obituary was very complete and it even had a picture with "John Paul II 1920-2003" on top.

All, I repeat, ALL news gathering and reporting organizations do this on a regular basis.

This is not unusual, nor something to be concerned about.

All News gathering organizations do this.

This reminds me of the tape that Ted Turner has in the CNN vault, ready to roll, at the END OF THE WORLD.

I bet a lot of alternate endings are written all of the time. Pick (a) or (b)... its getting popular in the movies, too. It enables the "news" to get out more quickly.

Its nothing new--remember the famous picture of Harry Truman smiling and holding up the paper with the headline "Dewey Beats Truman?"
