The truly sad part of this story was that the man's son had realized how rapidly his father was failing and was in the middle of a drive down from Idaho to take care of the situation. One wonders if there was something else that could have been done but it is only hindsight that is 20-20.

I don't get a power jolt from noting the fact that stuff is old or that something may be the 9th repost of the same article.
It gets a little old wading through the same set of breaking news about every four hours on FR.

I think that was Jack Handey's "Deep Thoughts" series that was on "Saturday Night Live" years ago.

That's why I haven't posted much in the three months I've been here. Information comes out so fast on the web that it's hard to be the first one to get a story out.

You're likely unaware that FReep's "Search Thingie", which has always sucked to begin with, is down due to technical probs.
It'd probably be best for you to just chill, read the threads, and resist that itchy trigger finger.

Yet, he was perfectly able to get into his car, start the ignition, put the car into "drive" but has no idea what happened. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............... Having worked Alzheimer's patients, I can believe it. Both that he would get in the car, and that he would not remember the accident.

The story is from Wednesday and Boortz talked about it on Friday. Boortz lost me as a listener one day early in the week when he was blasting Sarah Palin as unelectable because of the "goof" she made about Paul revere, of course it was Boortz who was wrong, and then blasted anyone who who disagreed that homosexuality was not genetic, completely ignoring the possibility of conditioning as a child and the choice of not acting on one's desires.
Maybe he was just having a bad day but he certainly lost me. I have to change stations to miss him but I will.
