Suicide via OD is my guess. She tried it before.

Yom kippur of course, but sadly, I've missed, "sitting shiva" all these years. Just for that, I'm going to dive into a jewish/hebrew cultural study book next.
I knew what sit shiva meant, but also because I saw it in a movie
Dale Haupt, the Eagles' defensive line coach from 1986-94. Coached a lot of good players. Also won a ring along with Buddy on the '85 Bears.
ive "sat shiva" more times than i can count
the crazies will actually sit on these mini stools and shtein but for normal everyday jewish people that ive known its no different than any other culture or religion honoring someones life at their home cept the food almost always sucks
nothing is better than when a black person dies (no racist)....you wont ever have better food in your life than at a black shiva

Alternate history is one of my favorite genres and although it wasn't one of Roth's best novels, it was still very good. And amazingly enough it neatly presages the Trump wave that overtook us too.

Anthony Bourdain hung himself - dead at 61.
RIP you magnificent bastich.

Damn
wtf
charles krathoumer...soon
doesnt make up for bourdain
I always wondered how Bourdain could square having a soul with selling it on CNN.
I guess not so well.
sad to see him go but i always found him pretentiously unpretentious. like he tried really really hard to be that cool.
still sucks though seemed like a good dude regardless.
I can't imagine pulling the chain with a young child. His daughter is 11. I could see taking oneself out after the kid is old enough to fend for herself, but it's just unconscionable to me to do that to a kid.
He looked really awful in this season's shows so maybe he was terminally ill. If that's the case, then I get it. Otherwise... sack up.
It is a well known fact that the bad brain can be defeated by having kids.
It can be helped with therapy.
It did come across as having the ideal life: Traveling the world, eating with locals and friends across the globe, probably banging chicks from everywhere he went. Maybe dude just said, "what the hell else is left?"
I blame Trump.
It looks like his girlfriend may have dumped him. Good god. Taking yourself out over a broad?

The ultimate downfall of every great man
I don't think we'll ever know. I was thinking he wanted to go out on 'top'. But if its over a girl, then I have no words.
not saying it's not out there because I'm more out of the loop on this shtein than anyone but where is this girl shtein coming from
I haven't heard one word about it
All there was, that I imagine what Rome is referring to was an instagram post where she was wearing a shirt that said, "farg everyone" and she posted, "you know who you are" or something to that effect.
how does that remotely show that she left him....much less he killed himself because she left him
and why does a random picture of a t shirt carry more meaning than the message she posted about him
you know this was the woman who helped take down harvey and was essentially kicked out of italy for it
but wimmin amiright
I know who she is she's been on his show several tines but what the hell does the Weinstein stuff have to do with her leaving him or him killing himself cause she left him
I'm just baffled that romey said that yet I don't see a single other place anywhere that's brought this up....but again maybe I don't go to the same places on the web you all do
no thats why she wore the shirt
She instigated his demise by whoring it up with another guy after Bourdain was her fiercest defender and supporter. That's the way it looks to have played out. If that's the case, I wouldn't be shocked at his impulsiveness.
Women really do make you do the stupidest shtein.
what is wrong with you
Mock this man for his stupid brain.
See what I did there? It works for everyone because it could be about Bourdain or Rome.
I'm not mocking him. I'm merely stating that it's a theory that's being floated out there.

Exactly the sort of absurd sendoff that old bastich deserved. He was responsible for opening the door to Trump by selecting Sarah Palin. He sat back and did nothing while the GOP went off the rails. As far as I'm concerned, his service in the military, while admirable, doesn't mitigate his acts as senator.
