According to the Orange County Register: 

HUNTINGTON BEACH — An autopsy was pending today on the body of 28-year-old Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, the drummer for the hard rock band Avenged Sevenfold, following his sudden death.

 “It appeared to be natural causes,” said Lt. John Domingo of the Huntington Beach Police Department. “It’s a coroner’s case.”  

“The decedent is a 28-year-old male discovered unresponsive inside of his residence,” the Coroner’s Department stated on its Web site. It said that an “investigation is ongoing.” 

Avenged Sevenfold released a statement online:

“It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sullivan.

“Jimmy was not only one of the world’s best drummers, but more importantly, he was our best friend and brother.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy‘s family and we hope that you will respect their privacy during this difficult time.”

Maybe you heard last week’s on-air exchange with State Representative Bob Hargraves, in which the elected official ended the call by telling me I could “go to hell”. If you didn’t, listen to it here.

Mr Hargraves, a 70-something year old who has served in the public employ for more decades than most of us have been alive, took umbrage at my questions about why he was one of 16 Representatives REFUSING to take a furlough as part of a program that would save the Commonwealth over $600,000.   His explanation was that it was going to cost him $500 a year when he retired and his pension was reduced.  And he sounded to me like he was outraged that anyone would even dare have the audacity to ask him about it.

This is one of the nightmares in a state that does not force term-limits on it’s elected officials and pays it representatives as full time employees.  They become arrogrant and empowered.  The simple logic says that if Mr. Hargraves, and his compadres on Beacon Hill, are going to lay off state employees, force others to take furloughs, and impose a sales tax increase during one of the most fiscally trying times of the last 75 years, they ought to be willing to accept some sacrifice themselves.  Apparently, during that phone call Thursday, “Go to Hell Hargraves” did not agree.

That’s why I’m pleased to tell you that the listeners of the Hill-man Morning Show, and the voters of Massachusetts, have one small victory to celebrate!  As reported in Sunday’s Lowell Sun, Bob agreed later that afternoon to take the furlough.  The Sun surmises that several of you reached out and let “Go To Hell Hargraves” know that you found his attitude, and his reluctance to be part of the solution, unfortunate.  To me, that’s a big win for Democracy.  We can speak out about these issues and we will be heard.  The message is:  if you are going to force state workers to take the five day furlough, you don’t get out of it because you’re an elected official and somehow, in your mind, better than them.  And you don’t get to tell anyone who asks about it to “go to hell”.

Everyone has that one friend or relative that is impossible to buy for. Personally, when I can’t think of anything great I go for the greatest gift you can give….booze. Which might go well with the item below. You can enjoy a romantic box of wine in bed with your sister or Mother worry free with this baby. The epitome of American ingenuity. No more keeping that gun locked up in a closet away from your kids. With this gift, your loved ones can stay locked and loaded all night. Also handy for a little role play if you’re in the mood. Or when you catch that ungrateful son of a bitch sleeping with your best friend. That’s if you want to be a real pussy about it. A real man would be clutching his true friend in his sweaty palms all night waiting for that scumbag crackhead to try and steal his XBox.  Thanks to my friend Brian McDonough for letting me know about this.  Look for one under the tree buddy!

Here’s another great gift to thin the herd: The Laptop Steering Wheel Desk

SHIT!! It’s so God-Damned simple!  Why didn’t I think about this?  Maybe because I was DRIVING!  Everyday on the Pike I see a myriad of assholes struggling with their laptops at 80 mph.  This would make it alot easier to focus on that crap that you should of had finished last week, or, more importantly, leave some witty comments on your facebook or twitter: “Hey, I just blew through the Weston tolls…I think”, “Drivers on 495 suck! I’m tweeting fucknuts, stop beeping!”  This way I can spend quality time with all those porn sites I have to sneak a look at.  Or even more important, enjoy that balanced breakfast you always see on cereal commercials.  You know, that bowl of diabetes pops with the OJ, Toast, eggs, bacon, muffin and milk.  I can enjoy “Frindge” on Hulu while I take my time with breakfast.  I won’t have to wolf it down.  That could cause some digestion problems.  Make sure you read the hilarious comments for this.

Of course, if you’re a real pro you’d get the Laptop Car Desk With Printer Stand

Look at the lady in the picture.  What a mega-productive whorebag!  She’s on the phone, looking for a file in the convenient cabinet, all while printing out those important documents.  Look, only losers use the windshield to drive.

I hope these ideas help.  I’m leaving one for Santa so he can save the planet by checking that naughty list on his laptop.  When he gets home his fat ass can accidentally fire off a round from his shot gun on the rack on his bed. 

May the blessings of the Season be upon you and yours.
