Former Saturday Night Live cast member Cheri Oteri’s father was murdered by his roommate Richard Fagan on, chillingly, Saturday night. Gataeno Thomas “Tom” Oteri was a Nashville music producer that had collaborated with Fagan on several songs. Fagan was pulled over for DUI shortly after the murder. He told the police he and Oteri had gotten in an argument and he had slashed Oteri across the chest with a pocket knife before leaving the scene. Tom Oteri died at 69 due to a wrist laceration. Both men were drunk at the time of the fight. Synthesis’ condolences go out to Cheri Oteri.

Am I the only one who thinks Commanding General of the Multi-National force in Iraq General David Petraeus shares more than a passing likeness with Saturday Night Live star Dana Carvey? The chin. The cheekbones. The overall facial structure. The witty sense of humor (i.e, Wayne’s World; belief that we can win in Iraq).
