Miguel Sanchez Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Week 50 update One death this week, former American senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole: Bob Dole: From WW2 casualty to top Republican - BBC News I'm not going to quote a single thing from that description of his life because it would do a disservice to the rest of it. Spending three years recovering from his body being broken on a battlefield in Italy during World War 2 is a highlight to me, but reading about him just makes you wonder about the sort of politicians you have nowadays. Despite all of that, here's what I'll always think of when I hear his name: "Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others" is a pretty good summation of American politics right enough. Dole died at 98, so he's worth 27 Base Points with a Deadly December bonus doubling that to 54 points for @Arch Stanton, @Ludo*1, @peasy23, @TxRover and @weirdcal. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. Ned Nederlander 713 2. Bishop Briggs 481 3. psv_killie 459 4. Savage Henry 429 5. Fuctifano 420 6. chomp my root 346 7. Indale Winton 332 8.
