Make That Two Stupid Reasons

An update to the "election-result-suicide" story from the other day, in which a young man, horribly - oh so horribly! - distraught over the Bush victory went to Ground Zero and symbolically* spread his cranial innards across the site.

Seems that might have just been a bit of projection from his (guessing here) Kerry-lovin' friends.

Andrew Veal's three-page missive, which cops found in his parked car near the site, at first shows a man amused over the purchase of his suicide weapon and later anguished over his passion for two women: his fiancée and a love from his hometown, Athens, Ga.

You know, there are few things more stupid and misguided than shooting a President to impress a woman, but shooting yourself over two women certainly qualifies.

As my grandmama always used to say, "People so dumb."**

* So we were told, because symbolism is powerful, man. Meaningful.

** And as always, I never actually heard my grandmother say that. Consider it a literary device. I am an artist, after all!
