One less idiot we would end up taking care of anyway in a psychiatric hospital.
If only all the other haters and terrorists would take a hint from this guy and only harm themselves on the way out, this world would be a better place.
Dumbocrat shoots self over a transitory event? Now I've witnessed everything in the way of human stupidity.
Well it's a start. One less psychoemotive liberal is one less problem. But I'm afraid that in order to to really get a trend started amongst the RAT cult rank-n-file, a high vis lib like Mikie Moore, Mo Dowd, Walt Cronkite, or Howard Dean will need to off themselves in protest to the Bush victory. A suicide by one of the little people is merely statistical noise.
It's a good start!
Suicide is such an ugly, Politically Incorrect word.
It is also *loaded* with negative connotations.
We could, however, couch this event in words that the left would approve of as follows:
"25 year old UGA employee performs successful auto postpartum abortion."
Now isn't that a smarter, more nuanced headline mes amis?
55,949,406 to go ;-)
Such a stable intellectual employed by a major University------No wonder such well educated people are emerging from today's educational system

Symbolism indeed. This suicide is symbolic of so many in the country who just may not get it. (and this guy working on a Socialist factory......a college campus)
He must have lived in Jihad McKinney's district. That was one of few races that went badly.
But to kill yourself over an election is silly.
Odds are this guy was a prescription anti-depressant/anxiety drug user.
Since this unfortunate individual was in violation of the Brady Act and the Sullivan Law(as well as many others), I'm sure NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer will charge him under the RICO Act and confiscate his house in Georgia.

UGA worker kills self at Ground Zero
Friends, co-workers remember a Œpassionate¹ person

A University of Georgia worker apparently used a shotgun to kill himself at Ground Zero in New York City Saturday morning, authorities said.
The body of Andrew Veal, 25, was found at about 8 a.m. Saturday morning on a structure that houses subway lines at the former site of the World Trade Center towers, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Coleman said no suicide note was found near Veal's body, which was discovered after a hotel worker saw what seemed to be a person sleeping inside the site. A shotgun was found near the body, however.
The area has been closed since the World Trade Center towers were destroyed in the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001. Port Authority police are continuing to investigate how Veal entered the site, which is surrounded by high fences and watched by guards and video cameras, Coleman said.
Veal was a supervisor at UGA's Survey Research Center, where he had worked before and after graduating from UGA. He also worked part-time as a cook at Amici Italian Cafe, a downtown Athens restaurant. Friends said he loved to cook and hoped to attend culinary school to become a chef.
Co-workers became increasingly concerned after Veal did not show up for work Wednesday or Thursday. People at the Survey Research Center began calling his friends and family on Friday to see if they could find out where he was. They discovered that his fiancee in Iowa had not heard from him since Monday when she called the research center on Friday trying to get in touch with Veal, said another co-worker, UGA student Leigh Hall. Veal and his fiancee had been scheduled to take a trip to Seattle this weekend.
Friends suspected he had gone to New York after learning Veal had called a friend in Athens late last week to get the telephone number of a friend in New York City, said his supervisor at the research center, Maryann Mauney.
Co-workers at the research center, housed in UGA's McWhorter Hall, learned of Veal's death Saturday morning when a university police officer came by seeking to confirm his identity. Port Authority police had contacted UGA police to confirm Veal's identity, Coleman said.
There was no indication that Veal intended to take his own life, said friends, trying to understand not just why but the symbolism of where he chose to do it.
"Andrew was definitely sending a message," Mauney said. "Certainly it was a protest."
But so far, the message is not entirely clear.
"We're all struggling with that right now," said Jim Bason, head of the Survey Research Center.
Some of his friends believe he may have become despondent at the results of Tuesday's elections.
"He wanted some hope that things were going to change so the world would be a better place," said Mauney.
Veal, a conscientious and thorough worker, was the first student she had ever promoted to supervisor, Mauney said. He had graduated from UGA with a degree in sociology after coming to UGA from Newnan, she said.
Friends frequently used the word "passionate" to describe Veal in interviews Saturday.
"He was very passionate about everything, especially his friends and family," said friend Sarah Gilliam, who worked with Veal at Amici's. "He was a spectacular person."
"He was a very peaceful person, so warm, kind and generous. You never thought he could harm a fly," she said. Though he was a quiet person, he seemed happy, she said.
"He was brilliant. He was one of the smartest people I've ever met," said Lindsay Saripkin, another co-worker at the restaurant.
Among his passions were politics, and he felt troubled about the direction he saw the United States moving, Mauney said. He was deeply opposed to the U.S. war on Iraq, friends said.
"He cared about politics. He cared about people and the state of the world," she said.
"He was really wonderful. We are all just really stunned," Hall said.

A guy who had a screw loose,IMHO. Must go to NYC, to WTC site and kill myself with a shotgun. At least this whacko didn't kill some innocent citizens. His co-worker mustn't know too many people if she thought this guy was "brilliant".
