Number 41: Canadian Chris
His name is Chris, and he is from Canada. He’s been the Broncos in my NFL pick ‘em contest since it started four years ago, just missing the playoffs for the first time this year. I think he likes poker, too. And he does some Death Pool thing. Now I know I’m too late in getting in on this year’s action, but for the heck of it I’ll list the 20 celebs/public figures who I want to see kick the bucket sometime this year.
Ted Kennedy
Pat Leahy
Barbara Boxer
Nancy Pelosi
Ed Rendell
Christopher Dodd
Dick Durbin
Carl Levin
Charles Schumer
John Dingell
John Conyers
Barney Frank
Sheila Jackson Lee
William Jefferson
Jim McDermott
John Murtha
Eleanor Holmes Norton
Charles Rangel
Robert Wexler
Oh, yeah…
And now a word from the expert panel I have put together to comment on the people I’ve listed.
From EricMM:
8 p.m.He sure isn't Canadian Chick, no sir. No sir.
• Well, I got my anniversary present five months early. And I was right about it being a piece of furniture. It’s a fucking recliner! And you know what? It’s comfortable. Some stuff in the dining/living room got re-arranged to make space, but whatever. It’s not like I’m going to move this shit around; I’ll be sleeping in my chair-bed with a bag of potato chips at my side with football playing on the television.
• While I’m on the side of many right-wing issues, one that I’m “eh” on involves capital punishment. The reason I sometimes get uneasy when someone gets a death sentence is because what if that person didn’t do the crime and is put down? Now if you’re on videotaped shooting an unarmed Quickie Mart clerk, then I want you to die. No appeals, no hearing about how you were abused as a kid, none of that shit. Die. However, if there’s the slightest shred of doubt, I would rather have someone spend the rest of his or her life in a cell 24/7. Of course, the problem with this is that this “life in jail” many times comes with television, Internet and other goodies, like anal sex. This is why I can’t fault victims and their families for wanting to see their assailant put to do death. If this would happen to me, I know I’d want the fucker dead. Hell, if given the chance, I’d probably try to off the bastard before deciding to call the cops. Why am I babbling about this? Here’s why.
This guy is a better person than me. I know the first thing I'd want to do as a free man is kill the bitch who put me in jail to begin with.Spending nearly half his life in prison has not taken the twinkle from Willie O. "Pete" Williams' eye or the optimism from his spirit about how he plans to spend the rest of his life as a free man...
...Williams was convicted of a 1985 attack on a woman at an Atlanta apartment complex parking lot after the victim identified him as her attacker. Two years ago, Williams contacted the Georgia Innocence Project, and lawyers discovered the D-N-A material from a rape examination kit. Tests on the kit exonerated the 44-year-old Williams.

• The Pirates got Adam LaRoche? Since when did this happen?
Adam LaRoche has yet to take his first at-bat for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the team is already planning a bobblehead doll giveaway featuring his likeness.
The bobbleheads will be given away June 2.
LaRoche, a first baseman who hit 32 home runs last season, was traded to the Pirates from Atlanta last week for reliever Mike Gonzalez. The deal also included two minor leaguers.
Other Pirates bobbleheads this season include those for All-Star outfielder Jason Bay, catcher Ronny Paulino, NL batting champion Freddy Sanchez and announcer Bob Walk, a pitcher for the club's last division-winning team in 1992.
Man, Adam must have pissed off somebody big in Atlanta.
