Guess God Doesn't Want to Appear to Be Playing Favorites in the US Presidental Election...

First I thought with Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes taking the long dirt nap - plus Morgan Freeman nearly escaping death - that God was killing high profile African-Americans to ensure Barack Obama's ascension to the office of the President of the United States of America. Now a couple low key, but high profile old white people died within the last week. These unlucky souls:

• Ron Lancaster - Canadian football player turned coach. Known as "The Little General", Ron played for both the Ottawa Rough Riders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders (Don't ask why there were two teams with similar names, it's a Canadian thing, aight.). Ron also went onto coaching teams like the Roughriders, along with Edmonton and Hamilton. Succumbed to cancer at the age of 69.
• Richard Wright - Pianist/Keyboardist and one of the founding members of Pink Floyd. While not as high in profile within the group, Richard contributed some vocals and writings during the Syd Barrett years, as well as all the iconic sounds in the latter years before Roger Waters went all crazy and started penning long concept albums based off crib notes from George Orwell books(Animals), the alienating effects of arena rock coupled with his dad dying in the Second World War(The Wall) and more pissing and moaning of his dead dad coupled with the shitty British economy in the early 80s(The Final Cut). It was during this period Wright left the group, only to return for 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason(Hey now...). Also died from cancer at the age of 65.

So now does this mean John McCain is going to ascend to the presidency with these old white souls? Better to feed off them now than if he dies in office which - despite me being swept up in Palin-mania - doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence... unless McCain is a Time Lord and when he dies regenerates into David Tennant, as evidenced here:
