Dead or alive?

EDIT: Wierd, when I first saw this article it stated he was dead...when I refreshed the page it stated he was NOT dead. I'm over it.

So what's gonna happen when he kicks? Sharon assassinated? Younger more radical replacement?

ABC's top of the hour news on the radio said he was "clinically dead" and they had some comments from Bush on the whole deal...

I'm sure we'll see all of these muslim states all devestated, days of prayer, parades through the streets and all of that. Now that the lead man in their quest to push israel into the sea is dead... I'm sure that power vacuum will be filled quickly, unless Israel can swoop in and end the whole damn mess.

I think Arafat and Ringo Starr are the same person. Have you ever noticed that you never see them together?

[cegerer]

Arafat and Kerry, both in happier times ......

azasadny! You a 24/7 subscriber too?! I LOVE that MMore parody!

Bryan,

What's a "24/7"? I have never heard of it...

[bryanthompson]

Rush 24/7... The the only place I've ever heard Ringo Starr and Arafat mentioned in the same sentence is on one of his fake commercials. Did you make it up and this is just an insane coincidence, or have you heard it somewhere else?

[azasadny]

I just made that up. Actually it was several years ago and I was under the influence of "Rebel Yell" bourbon! I think it was when Ringo was on a TV commercial (some investment firm, I think). I also think Don Knotts and Mick Jagger are really the same person!

[bryanthompson]

I've been reading more articles about Arafat and all this crap, and almost all of them say something like, "Arafat's condition has raised fears of chaos among Palestinians locked in a 4-year-old uprising against Israel."

So... is the media trying to make Palestinians' war on Israel out to be something only 4 years old?? WTF?
