Spoiler
1. Bertie Ahern = Alive
2. Edward Heath = Dead
3. Viktor Zubkov = Alive
4. James Callaghan = Alive
5. Ahmed Nazif = Alive
6. John Turner = Alive
7. Robert G. Menzies = Alive
8. Fidel Castro (as of this moment) = Somewhat alive
9. Atal Behari Vajpayee = Alive
10. Romano Prodi = Dead

Most of them are past or present Prime Ministers or Premiers, Castro is currently a President, so closest bond seems to be that they are all heads of government (and Castro is head of state)

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Dead or Alive? Game 19 12/19/07

Identify the following people as either Dead or Alive. Then guess the theme for today (two words in my notes)

1. Bertie Ahern - ALIVE
2. Edward Heath - DEAD
3. Viktor Zubkov - DEAD
4. James Callaghan - ALIVE
5. Ahmed Nazif - DEAD
6. John Turner - DEAD
7. Robert G. Menzies - ALIVE
8. Fidel Castro (as of this moment) - ALIVE
9. Atal Behari Vajpayee - ALIVE
10. Romano Prodi - DEAD

I only know three of these people, so the theme guess is kind of a general (ha!) one, since presidents and prime ministers and dictators have to be gathered loosely. I thought #3 was the tag team partner of Nikolai Volkoff, but that really doesn't fit the theme. Ha!

Prime Ministers?
Of the few I know a little about the only common theme is they are or were all the Prime Minister of their country. But Castro seems to be the wild card as I did not know he is or was Prime Minister along with what ever other titles he has given himself.
