1. hmmmm.... hadn't thot about that one in years....
I was on news duty at the radio station that day so wasn't in the room where he shot himself, tho many of my friends were. However, I got an almost immediate phone interview with his press secy -- Spike Lukens, I think he was -- and was the first on the ABC national radio news with a report. Never forget it.

2. Whoa! I remember his shooting wasn't edited on the Pgh news at first
Some people saw it happen live (believe it was Channel 11).

I wouldn't want to see anyone, even Novak, do that on air.

4. Nope.
He's got some serious twisting in the wind to do, and him getting off easy is the last thing I want to happen.

Muaha ha hahaha :D

10. Bud Dwyer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Dwyer

Corrupt state treasurer of Pennsylvania, in 1987, the day before he was due to be sentenced for taking kickbacks, he called a press conference, and blew his brains out

9. Oh my, that is horrible.
No. I wouldn't want Novak or anyone to do that. Novak should have just removed his teeth to relieve any stress.

13. Filter: Short Bus Album
I have that album and being from PA, I had heard about the Bud Dwyer connection to that song (wasn't sure if it was real or rumor)

I wondered if anyone else knew about that song. Apparently you do...or your subject line is an odd coincidence to their song.

8. hadn't heard of dwyer
but I take it he committed suicide. Naaa, I don't wish that kind of suffering on him. But there is some lesser amount of suffering I could go for.

I picture him with a big hole in the middle looking annoyed.

15. I'd think it was just as funny but I don't know that I'd be happy.
Because now you can blame everything on the dead guy and he can't contradict it.
