Most of the time it's because it's combined with some complication like sarcoidosis, prescription drugs or something else but, yeah, the cause of death is pneumonia.

i have a feeling that Bernie and Isaac are keeping each other entertained wherever they are.

you don't forget
even though you've only seen'm
one time or two.

and i'm in the shade
i'll remember you.

You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend!

You are an Illuminator. You add color and beauty to anything you can get your hands on: books, tavern signs, clocks, small barnyard animals. While your work goes largely unappreciated, at least it pays the bills. Why, that enormous golden M you painted for the new Scottish restaurant down the street netted you a farthing!

Levy Mwanawasa, president of Zambia.

He was kind of a microcosm of Zambia as a whole. I think the writer has got it dead on. The kind of leader that a lot more African countries could do with for a while.

I hope the stability he worked for so hard stays on.

"characterised Mwanawasa's presidency - the bold steps he took were always tempered with equivocation. He prosecuted Chiluba on charges of corruption and instigated anti-corruption measures, but barely managed to contain the rise of greater corruption. He improved conditions in the main hospitals, but allowed them to degenerate in the public universities. He became the darling of the IMF and western banks for his neo-liberal reforms, but was only able to instigate these reforms on the back of an unforeseen boom in mineral prices. And, while the macro-economic figures depicted Zambia as a rare African country in good economic health, a huge percentage of Zambians lived in poverty.

However, he did ensure the robust condition of political debate in Zambia. Elections were flawed but fair. A free press flourished. Debate, if not action, on HIV was taking place. He attracted a foreign investment and aid, roads and communications were improved, and he left the private sector in much better shape.

Mwanawasa was one of those uncharismatic transitional figures, of whom Africa probably needs more, who takes a nation imperfectly forward.

In his last few months he made the mark that no one predicted, by holding that Africa should not tolerate the situation in Zimbabwe, challenging the culture of silence much as he has done as a young lawyer."
