How About Some Fire Safety Lessons From Fire Marshall Bill

PJ O'Rourke has an idea to save print journalism - the Pre-Obituary:

The main advantage of the Pre-Obit over the traditional obituary is the knowledge of reader and writer alike that the as-good-as-dead people are still around to have their feelings hurt.
