b) One bonus point added for each decade under 90
c) One penalty point deducted for each person other than yourself who picked the same person
d) Each correct pick is guaranteed a minimum of 1 point, regardless of deductions
e) 5 point penalty for late picks (picks in after the start of the year, but before the announcement of everyone else's picks sometime in January)

John McLaughlin: Issue number 3: life after death. Some pundits say it doesn't exist. Theologians disagree. Is there an afterlife? Jack Germond!

Jack Germond: I... uh... really don't know.

John McLaughlin: Mortone!

Morton Kondracke: Well, it's not my field...

John McLaughlin: Pat Buchanan!

Pat Buchanan: I'd like to believe, but it's not...

John McLaughlin: WRONG! There is life after death. The soul does not ascend to heaven but rather rests in a limbo state that varies depending on the karma of the spirit.

The Dead Pool / Whither Gil Gunderson?
November 02, 2015, 11:49:04 PM
Nixon loyalist and Jack McCoy interlocutor Fred Dalton Thompson, dead at 73.

QuoteRenny Harlin, who directed "Die Hard 2," described Thompson as "a gentle giant whose loss is a tremendous one for both entertainment and politics."

"Fred was a sweet, funny and fiercely intelligent guy with a gentle heart—a bear of a man who was warm and considerate towards all those around him." Harlin said.

He said Thompson "anchored 'Die Hard 2' with his powerful presence in the air traffic control tower."
