American rightwing politcal commentator hack Andrew Breitbart past away in the early hours of Thursday in Los Angeles at the age of 43.

Quite shocking actually.

No doubt the circumstances of his death will expose him as a massive hypocrite.

Vice president of PayPal, hit by a commuter train. Fittingly, the story has gone viral and he's probably gone a good few hundred yards!

Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

That's the 64,000 Australian Dollar question...
Derby Dead Pool showrunner...


"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."

David Bowie - We Are The Dead (1974)
