Fidel Castro

Fidel Castro posing with his Dewey-like newspaper headline

Now perhaps this is too easy, this adding Fidel Castro to the ODD On Deck group, but we are nothing if not easy.

“He’s getting better, better, I see him improving,” Castro Junior, also known as “Fidelito” because of how much he looks like his father, said after the inauguration of a scientific center in southern Chile on Saturday.

Bring Out Yer Dead! This latest Castro media snippet reminds of the Monty Python skit wherein the man thrown on the cart with all the dead claims “I’m not dead yet” and “I’m getting better!”

His son said on Saturday that the Cuban leader was in a “positive and optimistic mood.” Great. So is George Bush.

Russell Crowe

Posted in On Deck, Movies & TV, Not One Of Us on January 13th, 2007

The very stable Russell Crowe

We certainly believe that Down-Under-Man Russell Crowe, Oscar winner for staring role in “Gladiator” asked to be placed On Deck.

Crowe claimed that Osama bin Laden’s al-Quaida terror network targeted him for kidnap as part of a “cultural destabilization plot.” Stable is certainly a key term here. Dread Russell is not exactly “Master and Commander” of his own brain now, eh what?

Move over Salman Rushdie.

Geraldine Ferraro

Geraldine Ferraro, New York politician and first woman nominated as Vice-Presidential candidate by major political party. In 19841984 Ms. Ferraro was Walter Mondale’s running mate in an which they lost to Ronald Reagan and that other guy (can you remember?). She also ran twice, but unsuccessfully, for the United States Senate.

In 1998 she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of cancer involving the plasma cells of the bone marrow. Although incurable, myeloma may be held at bay for some years by the once banned drug Thalidomide. Ms. Ferraro is taking the drug, and so far so good.

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson the former Baywatch babe who has enjoyed the marvelous benefits of various surgeries to sculpt, chisel, strategically suck, creatively inject, and serially augment. Pamela has been diagnosed with hepatitis C, an incurable viral disease usually caused by sharing bodily fluids or infected needles with other people who carry the disease.

You can read more about hepatitis C at Hepititis C Facts. Pamela claims she got hep C from her then husband bad-boy rocker Tommy Lee when they shared tattoo needs, although he says “no way,” has offered to take a blood test. Seventy percent of people with hepatitis C have liver disease which may progress to the need for liver transplant.

We’d like to say that “This sex bomb has a ticking time bomb,” but that would be just too, too cute.

Pamela has a new book (we haven’t read it, and probably won’t). See the link below. And, there is the matter of the infamous Pamela-Tommy Lee video that’s been cruising around the Internet for a few years. Don’t expect us to link to it. We may be a bit ODD, but we ain’t twisted.
