Anthony Bourdain, a gifted storyteller and writer who took CNN viewers around the world, has died. He was 61. CNN confirmed Bourdain's death on Friday and said the cause of death was suicide.

Certainly, for that sort of comment, he should have received a nice long Secret Service visit!

Damn it, you got me.

Can you come up with a “Big Player™” rating system? Like this ass clown for instance. On a scale of 1-10 was he a 5? Can we celebrate from 7-10? How is it going to work exactly?

CNN host Anthony Bourdain joked in an interview with TMZ that he would poison President Trump if given the opportunity to cook for him and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

“If Trump and Kim Jong-un were going to have a bit of a summit to try and mend relations and they wanted you to cater, what would you serve?” asked a TMZ reporter.

“Hemlock,” Bourdain deadpanned.

...

Trump curse.

Simple. Reserve celebration for the likes of Ted Kennedy (already done), George Soros, and John McCain. We can explore other names, if you like.

Maybe we could have a OBITCON rating system(like DOD's DEFCON). Like this one could be a OBITCON level 4 so no celebrating. But above OBITCON 7 celebrations are in order. Like when the 'Chappaqua Witch' finally keels that would be OBITCON 10!

How does that work for you? You could rate each thread and we would all act accordingly.

You have to admit, that is a pretty funny line. Living w/o Jesus in your life is misery every morning.

“I know it’s wrong to speak ill of the dead, “

Depends.

Yes, one can speak ill of their Depends.

I enjoyed his show at times, the one where he
went to Texas and jammed with some band members
was a hoot. Surprised they filmed him Sh*t faced
like that.

Still, suicide is the final choice in life and
it’s one we all should appreciate having.

After all, not having it would be hell.
Consider Mr. Soros, his wealth will keep him alive
long past the time he has any control of it or his
bowels, THAT is justice.

Every suicide is a terrible tragedy. Prayers for everyone involved and affected. May the Lord in His mercy grant the repose of Mr. Bourdain's soul.

This sad outcome reflects an underlying reality that is too easily forgotten in the era of ruthless political strife. These spiteful, hateful Democrats that are being so destructive to our nation and our society are, at their core, utterly miserable. We need to have the patience and wisdom to always try to show them that their anguish isn't due to Republicans or even President Trump, but is the result of their own misguided ideology and corrupted values.

Who was the third one?

[jiggyboy]

The suicides are coming in spades

ouch

163 posts before someone put the elephant in the living room. Thank you. I think he had commented that Hillary had to have known what was going on with Harvey the monster.

Who was the third one?

The next person who crosses Hillary.

Yes. I like your idea. I expect you to deliver the following by close of business today:

1. A detailed list of all possible human actions with an OBITCON point rating. Please cover every possible permutation and combination of actions. Include motives on each. I expect a several-terabyte data cube that I can perform analytics on, as needed.
2. A detailed plan for implementation of the OBITCON data cube to every single liberal in America. Detail all their actions, every last one. We will feed this into the data-cube analytics to produce an overall OBITCON rating.
3. Implement an appeals-process for the families to petition for a lower OBITCON rating. I will expect a website to be up and running no later than the end of this weekend.

Get crackin', son! You have some deadlines to meet!

Speaking ill of the dead is a whole lot better than honoring the life on a dead evil person—something we see so much of in the public square.

Now—back to the Partee!

The Queen of Holland’s sister. (if that counts)

Well, I’ve been right here, and I haven’t heard anything CNN said. (In fact, I probably wouldn’t, either, unless stuck in an airport like you.)

But if they are reporting that, then it would seem he really did commit suicide. I’ve just watched too many episodes of Forensic Files, and it seems when they are too quick to say suicide, it’s often a coverup for overdose or even murder.

He probably had recurrent lung cancer. A couple years ago he was going around saying switching to a vegan diet cured him of lung cancer. Cured? Maybe not.
