"So what is the deal with comedians killing themselves?" "There's nothing funny about dying, so why do they do it?"

obviously Jeni had more issues than any of us knew about. Maybe he has found peace.

I guess we will never know what drove him to end his life. What a horrible, painful way to die.
Rest In Peace, Richard Jeni. You will be missed.

<Police found the 49-year-old comedian alive but gravely injured in a West Hollywood home when they responded to a call Saturday morning from Jeni's girlfriend, Los Angeles Police Officer Norma Eisenman said.>

I'm sorry to hear of this tragedy but when will this paper get some reporters who can write decent english. I read this believing that Jenni's girlfriend was Los Angeles police officer Norma Eisenman until I reached the last word..'said' I wonder how much the editor gets paid..........

I bet Gallagher is next. He probably will use a giant wooden hammer to crush his head just like a watermelon.

What terrible news, it is so sad that he thought life was so bad he had to kill himself. I guess he was laughing on the outside but crying on the inside. Rest in Peace. I hope you find it now.

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Libra

If someone owes you money and you're beginning to think that you'll never get it back, this is an excellent day to chase them up. They may not cave in straightaway but at least you'll have had your say and done what you can. Watch out for a tendency to lose your temper, because although this could be quite dramatic if you're usually the soul of equanimity it could work against you if you become aggressive or unpleasant.
