"Thanks for the thoughtful answer, unfortunately I can't figure out my own confusing question.
I think it had something to do with being one in the morning."
ROFL! Ok...short and sweet:

Somewhere in Hugh Hefner's mansion Drew Carey is laughing at your joke.

I agree. Is that a dog collar?
Great points. Tough egg to crack, but worth putting the pressure on, even through the hateful cover ups that will inevitably come out of this. More 'sympathy' tactics will be used as Ann Coulter mentioned I am sure.
UC chancellor a suicide
Victim was hospitalized the day before fall from roof

SAN FRANCISCO - A former University of California chancellor was discharged from a psychiatric hospital just a day before plummeting 33 stories to her death from a city apartment building, according to a report released Friday.
Denice Dee Denton, 46, committed suicide June 24 by jumping from the roof of the 43-story Paramount high-rise, according to a San Francisco medical examiner's investigation.
An autopsy determined that the one-time UC Santa Cruz chancellor died from the massive injuries she suffered when she landed on the 10th-floor terrace of a parking garage.
Denton was suffering from severe depression and had spent the six days before her death at Langley Porter hospital in San Francisco, the report said.
Her doctor had prescribed her the antidepressant Zoloft and the sleep aid Ambien, and antidepressants were present in her body when she died.
Denton came under fire in the two years before her death for demanding expensive remodeling to her campus home and for helping her partner secure a top-paying university position.
Records show that Denton's longtime partner, Gretchen Kalonji, had an apartment in the Paramount.
Denton's mother, Carolyn Mabee, told investigators her daughter "was under severe stress" from her job and her relationship with her partner, the report said.
Mabee said Denton was "acting completely irrationally" after being picked up from the hospital and believed "that the police had been chasing her," according to the report.
Mabee drove her daughter to the Paramount to pick up her purse from her partner's apartment.
Denton took off running on the 41st floor, and her mother could not keep up with her, the report said. Mabee spent the next few hours searching for her daughter but did not see her alive again
