Oh yeah, what a total shocker. Obviously I'm no expert, but didn't that take an unusually long amount of time to figure out? It was a given it was an overdose when he was found, it was just a matter of which drug/drugs.

It usually takes this amount of time to produce an autopsy result when it isn't a high profile case with homicide suspected.

Not a celebrity exactly, but a somewhat important person.

Maybe they should have said party too.

Apparently I'm a prophet. On 6-22-10, they announced that they dropped the "We Say Die!" part of their name.

Harvey Pekar, 70, author of the comic book American Splendor

[Trichocyst]

That really makes me sad. I really feel inspired whenever I read Harvey Pekar's work as somebody who is trying desperately to make a living while being artistic on the side.

Why I hate Boston Red Sox right up there.

Seriously people are fucking depressed today. I even got my buddies who are Mets fans that are sad cause even if it's not the team they rep, Yankees are a big part of our childhood growing up.

Fay Vincent was on Cowherd this morning and you could tell he was working real hard to keep it civil and not sit there and bash Steinbrenner the whole time.
