The part that got to me was the Kerry concession speech.  Edwards
comes on and unsubtly hints that Bush is a bad guy who doesn't want to
count all the votes... then 3 minutes later Kerry is talking about how
he and Bush agreed during their phone conversation about the need for
unity... it's like some of the nutjobs on the Democrat fringe want to
be able to call Bush a jackass, but still have him be nice to them.

There was no suicide note, but he was a strong Democrat.  

Managed to get into Gound Zero in Manhattan and apparently killed
himself there, with a 12-gauge shotgun... I guess the good part is he
didn't take anybody else with him... still, I thought shotguns were
illegal in NYC?

Like the cops, firefighters, and EMTs on duty there haven't seen
enough.
