Self-indlicted TDS can likely kill you.

I wish his name was Neil. I’d say to him after his fall, “Get up, Neil! Get up, Neil!”

As I wrote here before, the longest running member of the US Congress the late John Dingell, Jr. (D) took the seat his father had held starting in 1924 (and now his wife Debbie Dingell holds) in Michigan. He was a House page when FDR spoke to declare war on Japan. A Congressman from 1955-2015.

In the final years on the days when there was a key vote a young man would wheel his chair into the House chamber, with Dingell’s head mostly slumped toward his lap, and tell Dingell they needed his vote. He would tell the young man to signify yay or nay. People say he was vaguely aware of his surroundings in the last years but his needed votes were always there.

It is time for term limits in Congress.

Past time.

We don't wish this on anyone. We'll be old someday, too.

Life is hard.

And remember the sufferings of your parents/siblings/friends.

I don’t wish him dead. I wish for him to retire and stop be-deviling the American people.
