Margaret Thatcher Doesn't Die

Got tipped this in the comments -- that Thatcher was dead. But it's not on the BBC or anywhere else.

It all started Thursday night when Canada's transport minister, John Baird, sent a text message to a friend: "Thatcher has died."
But it wasn't the Iron Lady who had passed away; it was the Iron Kitty.
Baird was announcing the death of his beloved pet, a 16-year-old tabby named Thatcher. Baird's friend got the message while at a black-tie party in Toronto for Conservative Party members, The Guardian reported.
As the text was transmitted from BlackBerry to BlackBerry at the dinner, attendees jumped to the not-unnatural conclusion that Margaret Thatcher, the former British prime minister who remains a hero to many Conservatives, had died.
For the record, Baroness Thatcher, 84, is still very much alive.

Making it more confusing were reports that "Before her death, Thatcher had stared down Yuri Andropov," Yuri Andropov, in this case, being a stray tabby that tried to eat her kippers, and also "won the Falklands," the Falklands being a local cat-agility contest.

I was sorely tempted this morning to post that Thatcher had died. Missed my chance to be the biggest asshole/most hated moron on AoS. There's always next time, though!

11 This kind of story is a brilliant idea. After all, a lot more things are NOT happening than happening.

Like: Naomi Watts is not currently stripping in my living room.
Eva Green is also not currently stripping in my living room.
Elizabeth Banks? Not currently stripping in my living room.

There are approximately 3 billion stories like this.

Then we move on to the other rooms in my house.

12 Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Geez, what kind of deluded left-wing mind made up all those anti-Reagan posters?

I liked the one with the wire hanger. Yes, that evilll Reagan was going to keep all women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

I think an updated poster is needed, no? It should be Ahmedinejad holding Obama, with the mushroom cloud in the back emblazoned with the Iranian flag. More appropriate, yes?

Yuri Andropov - the Soviet premier who decided that everyone had to get sober and get to work. Too bad that enforced sobriety caused everyone to look about and say 'How the heck are we supposed to fix this?'

And then sober despair set in, which is worse than drunken despair as it actually has a connection to reality.

Ace, you're gonna break something if you stay on this roll you're on. I hope you do. Tell whatever-her-name-is that she's brought out the old Ace. Booze up the nose funny.....

39 Re: Burning Pelousy in effigy here in Virginia--I fail to see how anything's going to burn in this waterlogged state for the next few weeks. I have several dead moles and bunnies floating around my back yard. Better to just make a pinata. We do it all the time in Mexico.

back to Kos Kid about burning Pelosi & Perriello in effigy. Try the Danville newspaper website for pics (I don't have address off hand). some of the bigger, mainstream Va. political blogs have picked up on this so there will be pics somewhere by Sat. night.

when they vote to cost me money & freedom, I say burn 'em in effigy. do you think they will ever learn?
