Reply #212: That's just "celebrities."

And it's not that we tend to remember the Democrats more. After Carnahan or Wellstone, whichever happened last, I thought your way. Decided to make a list, an Excel list of small plane crashes related to politics in any way using a search engine. So what I found was limited to whatever I was able to get with the search strings I could think of. But it was WEIRD. WEIRD.

I don't know if my Excel file still exists. I know the hard drive copy disappeared in one of my many computer disasters. And I don't remember the names except for the obvious ones of Wellstone and Carnahan. The others weren't "celebrities."

What was WEIRD? All the ones I could find were Democrats EXCEPT for one four-year period in which only Republicans crashed. The 4-year period that was unhealthy for Republicans was the four years of George HW Bush's presidency. I said it was WEIRD.

I wish someone would do a serious search and really comb the records. Show me big gaping flaws in my little lost list. It was just something I was doing to set my mind at rest. It didn't.
