Jeez, I guess that stuff about the power of voting is true!
If I knew voting well had such good effect on "collateral targets",
I wouldn't have missed a couple of elections in my twenties!

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was determined to be clinically dead on Thursday in a French hospital, Israel's Channel Two television said citing French sources.

CBS now reporting he is "clinically dead"...PA denying the report.

[P-Marlowe]

[Even Keel]

Good news indeed.

I wonder what next then as far as PLO leadership goes. Will be interesting to see what transpires.

[Alouette]

I call for a burial at sea. Put him in a wheelchair and push it off the deck of ship out at sea.

Cremate him, mix his ashes with pig fat and cement, and send him to sleep with the fishes.
