Just...damn.
Holy sh!t!
My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. May God embrace him. He was a good man.
Not really.
He could have at least taken Weigel with him.
Shocking.
That's real sad and everything.
Meanwhile about 20 US Veterans of Forgein Wars commit suicide every day.
Yeah, no they don't.
Ooops... you're right, my bad.
It's even more than that.

If that were true, statistically, we'd have no veterans left before long. And that would make the VA redundant.
Why is it that when someone dies, there is a cadre of idiots on the internet that like to point out the several million that died without a press release?
You must be a member of that cadre of igiots who make statements without bothering to know anything about the subject matter.

Stick those statistics up your ass, cadre.
I'll always remember him as the genie from Aladdin.
He'll always be Mork to me.
Mork calling Orson... come in Orson...
Reminds me of this:

He will be missed.
Fuck, no way.
That sucks.
/me puts fingers together almost like spock but with thumb out and says "Nanoo Nanoo"
and then checks Netflix for "Mork and Mindy" episodes.
I've seen people asking "why"?
There is no reason. No why. There is only despair.
As someone who has contemplated the deed myself (bad health) I can't help but wonder what kind of torment the man went through, and what kind of personal philosophy he held that ultimately did not sustain him. Don't get me wrong, I think suicide can be a rational act, but the man looked physically healthy, he was famous and gifted, so why? And liberals are not supposed to be selfish and yet this was the most selfish act imaginable, (a no-brainer for libertarians) so how did he reconcile that? I did like the man's wit at times.
