Woo-Hoo! Saving Social Security!

Christopher Buckley should be proud.

You can blame David Vitter, and Vitter alone for this rise in the middle-age suicide rate. You can also blame the WORLD MAN, for oppressing you.

Finally, an answer to our social security worries.

Is that focused on any particular street or from any particular floor?

nosnikreplliw October 21, 2008 at 2:30 pm

probably a spike in the numbers after airing that bachmann interview

Neon Trotsky October 21, 2008 at 2:32 pm

Crumbling infrastructure, government corruption, a huge and growing wealth gap, outbursts of xenophobia and nationalism, now with the higher suicide rate I think we’ve finally become just like post-Soviet Russia. No wonder John McCain seeks funding from the Russkies–he’ll be our very own Putin and complete the cycle…

I’ll just bet this isn’t among the racist old fuckwits at Palin rallies. And the idiocracy consolidates.

Tommy Says Soooo October 21, 2008 at 2:34 pm

Suicide is gunplay for ugly people.

whore4hope October 21, 2008 at 2:34 pm

USA!

Special Agent Jack Mehoff October 21, 2008 at 2:35 pm

This is terrible news, for an early adopter such as myself. Oh well whatever it takes to be on the cutting edge. *bang*

LauraJune October 21, 2008 at 2:35 pm

It’s just there’s all this pressure to be, you know, quick-witted on the internet.

spencer October 21, 2008 at 2:43 pm

Don’t these people know that it is against the law?

shortsshortsshorts October 21, 2008 at 2:44 pm

We are a nation of Emos.

Larry Fine October 21, 2008 at 2:45 pm

From watching American television I have concluded that suicide would be funnier if it involved a child thowing an obect and hitting an adult male in the nuts, before that adult male performed suicide.

Suicide: The preferred lifestyle choice in today’s society for people who have both brains and balls.

grendel October 21, 2008 at 2:51 pm

Thanks Ken, you really know how to perk up my day! Fucker.

grendel October 21, 2008 at 2:52 pm

[re=141554]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: I blame Celine Dion.

Tommy Says Soooo October 21, 2008 at 2:54 pm

Hey, if Walnuts can do it on live teevee, don’t be surprised by the copycats.

NYNYNY October 21, 2008 at 2:55 pm

The article goes on to say it has something to do with “Frank TV”, whatever that is.

SayItWithWookies October 21, 2008 at 2:56 pm

Untreated depression is the leading cause of suicide, he said.

Wow. WTF did we do before science?

stew October 21, 2008 at 2:56 pm

I think Palin’s voice is also a factor. I had to go on Wellbutrin myself.

LauraJune October 21, 2008 at 2:56 pm

[re=141628]NYNYNY[/re]: This made ha ha inside me.

Inadequate Blackmail October 21, 2008 at 2:56 pm

Well, that’s one way to get out of paying 4% more in taxes next year.

Doglessliberal October 21, 2008 at 2:57 pm

[re=141626]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: hey, it is going to be on TV (not the suicide part, just the dying part). We are such a classy country.

Through 24 hour TV I see
visions of the things to be
Of Shit to be dumped on me
I realize and I can see…

Ken, your a faunt of good news this afternoon. How is the Southern California real estate market doing?

BobLoblawLawBlog October 21, 2008 at 3:02 pm

[re=141594]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: And me without a flat iron. :(

[re=141635]Doglessliberal[/re]: That is- Whaaa?..Holy Shit..that’s real?

Doglessliberal October 21, 2008 at 3:05 pm

[re=141647]freakishlystrong[/re]: You cannot do parody anymore.

keepinitrealyo October 21, 2008 at 3:08 pm

[re=141590]spencer[/re]: In less enlightened times they’d have hung you for it.

Min October 21, 2008 at 3:09 pm

If I really thought McCain was going to win, I’d be tempted. Better dead than red, dontcha know.

TGY October 21, 2008 at 3:14 pm

Gee, just my age group. I can understand why.

TGY October 21, 2008 at 3:23 pm

Also, I can tell you that 9/11 has nothing to do with it.

Harvey Birdman October 21, 2008 at 3:44 pm

I can’t wait for suicide booths.

WagTehGod October 21, 2008 at 3:52 pm

Sweet, less competition for the few jobs that are left in this country!

Delicious October 21, 2008 at 4:04 pm

Didn’t George Carlin suggest we have a Suicide Channel?

Dawn Keipuntsh October 21, 2008 at 4:30 pm

Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth
You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette…

junkscience October 21, 2008 at 5:53 pm

So my share of the national debt just went up? Thanks a lot fuckers.
