The death of U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy completes the current death trilogy:

Novak, Hewitt and ... ?

An important update from the Death Trilogy Commissioner:

"Last week saw the beginning of a death trilogy with some great potential:

• Robert Novak, Aug. 18, 2009
• Don Hewitt, Aug. 19, 2009

"Now the death of reality show lunatic Ryan Jenkins on Aug. 23, 2009 would seem to end the trilogy. However, as he is Canadian, this death trilogy will remain open in case someone better – and less Canadian – comes along by Aug. 26, 2009. A nice, old media death is preferable. Hello, Andy Rooney: Have you ever noticed how famous people always die in three's?

Les is Mourned

The Death Trilogy Commissioner has issued the following ruling:

"Les Paul's death on Aug. 13, 2009 completes the current death trilogy that includes director John Hughes and JFK sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver.

"However, always cognizant of improving a death trilogy, the next six days will be watched closely. Please watch this site for official announcements."

Two down...

Death's summer holiday is over.

Two recent deaths have launched a new death trilogy:

• Director John Hughes, Aug. 6, 2009
• JFK sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Aug. 11, 2009

The next member of this exclusive club will make an appearance by Aug. 18. Bonus points for a member of either the Brat Pack or a famous Irish-American family heavily involved in politics...
