That is true. One thing I found interesting - he did it at work. That implies something.

Could be, given his employer (CIA or Obama, either could be problematic for one’s future plans).

I see what you did there.

The comment must have triggered something, but I'm not going to be the fall-guy.

“In the early morning hours of May 22, 1949, the recently ousted first American Secretary of Defense, James Vincent Forrestal, committed suicide at the Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland [when he] jumped from the 16th floor hall window.”

Ugly suicides are about “making a statement”. Options:
1) Actual suicide: Draw attention to a particular cause; embarrass an organization, boss, spouse, etc.
2) Arkancide: Object lesson for the survivors.

Not con-Vinced, but the discussion is building, one looong step at a time. I'm sure the conclusion left our protagonist flat.

“How can you people in CA elect an idiot like this? “

Someone said of Nancy Pelosi, “Her views do not represent the views of American’s in general, but they do represent the views of her constituents.” The same is true of Diane Feinstein. California became the destination of every fringe. When it filled up with fringe the rest moved out. So, California will continue to gift the rest of us with fringe until some dramatic, sweeping change. (Mass extinction or the second coming come to mind.)

He shot himself in the head then hid the gun.

Esquire used to publish “Dubious Achievement Awards” every January to celebrate unusual and otherwise unnoted human feats. One award was headlined “Man Drills Seven Holes in Head and Lives!”. Seem some Brit had killed himself by drilling eight holes in his head.

I would love to wake up one morning and read that a politician committed suicide.

1. When was he scheduled to testify?
2. What did he know and when did he know it?
3. How many Obammunist thugs did it take to throw him off the roof?
