BACKLOG: What Irritates Mr. Erzblock This Week (7/14 - 7/20)

Soon after the recent passing of former White House Press Secretary Tony Snow became public, I heard someone say, "First Bobby Murcer; now Tony Snow! I wonder who's gonna be next? They always say deaths come in three." To this moron I wanted to shout, "You! That's who's gonna die next. You!" I mean does anyone REALLY believe that deaths, like tennis balls, come in packs of three? Why do they not also come in ones, twos, fours, fives, etc.? After all, doesn't a second death precede a third death and a fourth succeed a third?
