Elvis Presley has come top of a list of the highest-earning dead celebrities, with an annual income of $45m Aus

Fans of The King have continued to snap up merchandise and visit his Graceland home 27 years after his death reports BBC online. Presley's earnings go to Elvis Presley Enterprises, which is owned by his daughter Lisa Marie.

His earnings could increase in the future as a new generation of fans is introduced to him through a new clothing line and a Broadway musical.

US business website Forbes.com. puts Peanuts cartoon creator Charles Schulz in second place on the list, and JRR Tolkien in third, to make the top three unchanged for the second year in a row.

A Forbes.com spokesman said: "The earning power of most deceased people, even famous ones, slows considerably or stops altogether when they die. But for a select few, the pay cheques keep coming and some draw even bigger pay-days than when they were alive."

John Lennon is fourth in the list with an estimated annual income of £11m. He is joined by fellow Beatle George Harrison - who died in 2001 - whose earnings reached £4m. Other top earners include screen icon Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Freddie Mercury.

I've been spending too much time on this Crone 101 Book, I'm starting to feel as though I should live in a cottage in the woods, with only my garden and my cat for company. This may be the safest place when the retaliation comes. Heavens, our diplomatic person, the chubby schoolboy, keeps getting up the nose of the Indonesians and pissing on the Koreans. Someone should give the self inflated schoolboy a lesson in basic geography as well as basic polite manners before he cocks his leg again at China. Even Bush, with his pyschopathic form of religious self-delusion, had to back off from China


Here is the Crone 101 book that took such time. From now on I'll be a lot faster, it was a pest learning new software, something I'm always so slow to pick up. Slower than a wet week.
Crone 101 is for a niche market as you see. I know all about niches, I think I dug myself into one back in 1968

After the sheeple returned the runt, the forces of the Right are in full swing. Andrew Bolt, well-fed spokesperson for the "bugger the lot of the whinging welfare bastards "' has the unchallenged audacity to complain about 'Rabbit Proof Fence'. Like other white well-fed men, he states the girls were better off stolen from the squalor of their homes, saved from a life of poverrty to be sold as domestic servants.

All this to prop up the little runt's inability to say "Sorry". Bloody hell, how hard is it to say one little word ?

I'm truly filled with such despair. If the little runt is re-elected, then all their foul behaviour over the past three years is somehow vindicated.

The lies. the murderous treatment of asylum seekers, the Cole Commission, the incarceration of children and the whole vile bloody war.
