I thought he was one of those people with a charmed life.
I guess he was, mostly.

Steve Bing, a producer, philanthropist and screenwriter, has died by suicide in Los Angeles. He was 55.
Police and the coroner’s office said a man fitting his age jumped from a Century City apartment building on Monday.

So was it Bing or wasn't it?

If the cops/coroner aren't stating for fact that it was him how can the first statement be factual and not just supposition.

REALLY bad reporting.

Afterthought...jumped or pushed?

Richard Cory

BY EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

one less socialist we will have to deal with

No. They arranged his will so the son and the daughter get zero. His sister has two children who will get money from the grandfather.

BTW Steve Bing was a big lib progressive. Figures.

Suicide is such a terrible way to die. It’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Anyone with any sense knows the makers of the unpleasant children’s movie “Polar Express” were foolish to unload it just days after the release of the excellent, can’t-miss animated hit “The Incredibles.” But some in Tinseltown seem eager to lose money. The good news about the failure of “Polar Express,” already being nicknamed “Polar Distress,” is that it’s hurting Bush-bashing fat cat Steve Bing, one of those left-wing tycoons who tried to buy the presidential election for John Kerry. Bing put up half the money for “Polar Distress” (the rest came from the Democrat media leviathan Time Warner) and squandered...

Wonder how many trips he had taken on the Lolita Express??

[Vendome]

I think I met him at a party.

Too bad

Rest in Peace

April 2012, Bing joined the Giving Pledge – a program established by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to commit multi-millionaires and billionaires to donate most of their wealth to charity during their lifetimes.

Well he hung with the wrong crowd...

Sorry, but what is a “burst flesh bag”?
