RIP

[DBTrek]

He’s an American hero.

Doesn't qualify as hero in my book, but whatevs, no need to split hairs. He was still a talented dude and accomplished a lot.

Sorry he ended it like he did.
Enjoyed his show.

The American dream personified.
Did great things for the world.
Lived a full and generous life.

That’s my definition.

In light of the news that celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain has joined CNN to host a weekend show, here’s a look back at the globetrotting foodie’s most pointed political remarks in recent years:

1. “I’m pretty happy about the tea party, because I think they’re ensuring that no reasonable electable Republican will be — will be president. They’re taking over the party in a way that makes them look more or less crazy.” — November 2010, CNN

2. “The last person I want to hear talk about politics or the nation’s conscience or obligation to the world is some Hollywood ****tard. Some well-paid douchebag who lives in a compound in Malibu has, to my mind, very little of value or interest to say to anyone who’s worried about the price of milk.” — July 2008, Travelchannel.com

3. “I don’t like the idea of legislating against McDonald’s, for instance. I think using propaganda would be acceptable.… There seems to be the assumption that the government owes you absolute safety, absolute security, absolute purity.… I don’t feel that I need a 20-page informational pamphlet telling me the cholesterol and contents of every special at every restaurant.” — November 2007, Reason.tv

4. “Ideologically, I’m as far from the tea party as you can get. But I’m a little uncomfortable about relentlessly sneering at them…. If I have one thing in common with the tea party — it’s, you know, beer and barbecue. We both like that and that’s the beginning of something, right?” — April 2011, CNN

5. On the following politicians:

Donald Trump: “Blowhard.”


Barack Obama: “A disappointment to me personally for someone I admired. I was very happy when he was elected President. I certainly voted for him and I was very happy when he was elected. I wish he’d get angry.”

George W. Bush: “Uhhh not an evil man… but I admire competency. So there is not really much to admire about Bush.” — May 2011, Not Quite Nigella

No wonder he's SFs hero.

It's perhaps the tragic reality of the leftist today. The one's with true courage of their convictions off themselves and leave the weak-minded ones around to demand everybody else get offed before themselves.

Kate Spade committed suicide a couple days ago as well. What's with all the rich and (somewhat) famous people committing suicide recently?

Proximity to the Clintons strikes again.

Sad.

Just saying it’s possible that the mentally ill gravitate toward certain ideologies, or certain ideologies exacerbate mental illness. Can’t be healthy believing that you only succeed because of your skin color privilege, and that everyone else has a bad time because you personally are oppressing and murdering them. That’s not doing wonders for anyone’s self image.

Interesting. The states with the highest per capita suicide rates are mostly red. Top 5 : Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, New Mexico, Utah.

[DBTrek]

And are the suicide victims also “red”, or just occupants of the red states?

Strrerrrretttttchhhhh

[DBTrek]

Strrerrrretttttchhhhh

Not to anyone with a rudimentary grasp of statistics.
Your inability to differentiate the personal traits of suicide victims from the wider metric of how entire states generally vote speaks volumes.

Of course, you and Kath also display extreme reading comprehension issues, another behavior widely displayed by leftists in mental health tests.
