Indeed it was not fair to his daughter. I was just talking to my own (teenage) daughter and she was mentioning the same thing.

I can’t imagine leaving her like that. Suicide is the ultimate selfish act.

There's nothing Christian about it.

Psalm 137:8-9 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Hemingway was dying of cancer, IIRC.

Hey, do us a favor go over to the DU and lament the demise of this certified leftist POS and leave us alone - OK?

In other words... don’t say terrible things we don’t want to hear! Wahhhh! Wahhh!
And you’re different from a leftist snowflake HOW?

I would be even more delighted if the rest of the anti-American worms at CNN followed suit...It might even start a trend among the left.

We could call it the Bourdain Cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Despite his politics, Bourdain was a very talented writer and TV show host on the international culinary scene. A sad loss in the world of culinary arts.

(Mind you, there are just way too many tinfoil hat theories given what we know about a certain political family....)

Ok, I am sorry I celebrated the demise of this communistic, liberal globalist MSM hack that would throw us all in concentration camps and assassinate President Trump if he could. Again, I wish all the best for his family.

We are better than they are, never forget that. But they're better at Total War politics than we are, and if we don't shape up, the orcs and goblins will prevail over us men of middle earth.

Yes, and of course the answer to that is to be foul mouthed with a foul attitude on *anonymous* forums like Free Republic, beating chests and putting posts to the "enemy", like on this thread, instead of confronting people in person with cogent arguments and convincing people to vote for conservatives (which I do). Posting cheap shots and celebrating Bourdain's death here are pretty piss poor. But then, I've come to expect such around here these days.

Well, the demons torturing are real now.

We don't know that. Maybe he was reincarnated as a fry cook.

“Three suicides in 4 days”

Suicides by entertainers. They aren’t “us” but they’re saying suicides among “us” is up. I can imagine the increase is largely due to drug use.

Sadly, the old neighborhood’s just not the same. Sucks.

Seeing only a glimpse of Hell was enough to terrify the three children at Fatima.

Don't forget, you are also celebrating your virtue anonymously.

Actually he suffered from hemochromatosis, which he made worse by over consumption of alcohol. Doctors now say that hemochromatosis probably led to his severe depression.

DU values?

Uhh, no. In a situation like this, you either prepare yourself for the ovens or to fight the NAZIs. Those hale fellow well met days are gone. Or haven't you been paying attention?

And what virtues to you have, pray tell?
