So I’ve been preoccupied with Budd Dwyer since 1993 or so, when an old friend ruined my night by showing me his suicide video (something COUNTLESS acquaintances have told me they somehow saw live because they were home sick from school– yeah, you were in the Philadelphia area at the age of nine watching some press conference on your sick day).

ANYWAY, looks like someone has made a movie about it with an un-Firefox-friendly site. I was able to check out, and hereby repost, the journal entry Budd wrote the night before he publicly shot himself through the brain on TV and it’s the saddest fuckin’ thing I ever read.

So, if you don’t have plans, or if you do and want to ruin them, you should read that and then I guess watch the suicide video and turn on “Disintegration” and call it a night.

(Obviously there will be a Budd Dwyer shirt in the near future…)
