Well, I have to pray for both of them regardless.
He'll recover by Robert's hearing.

Lots of people have mini-strokes, some frequently. It might be nothing more than turning the head so an artery is momentarily constricted. Can happen at any age.

He's supposed to be dedicating the new Laughlin Marina next week. I was going to go and have a bit of fun. Damn. I know this is terrible, and I usually send out prayers for those of whatever political persuasion, but there's something about him I cannot stand and I just don't care. I know, it's horrible. But I'm being honest.

Sounds like a TIA to me sometimes referred to as mini strokes. He will probably have to take a low dosage asprin daily for the rest of his life.

The primary concern at this point from a medical standpoint is WHY the TIA occurred.
Without targeting that, the spells are very likely to continue.
Sounds like the Lord is giving him a warning shot off the port bow

In the 60's there was a TV show called "The Invaders". The aliens in the series, who looked human, used a small hand-held device to induce heart attacks in people who discovered the aliens true identity. Could Karl Rove.....? Naw!

Better check Karl's pinky fingers.

"Strokes are caused by a lack of blood supply and thus oxygen to the brain."


Minor correction. Strokes are caused by blood clots or blockage in the brain. They can also occur in tandem with heart attacks, or from the collapse of an arterial wall.

Lack of blood and oxygen to the brain result from those events. You're spot on there.

A minor stroke for a minority party leader. The rats can't seem to commit to anything these days.

I hope he recovers soon else the rats might pick a less incompetent minority leader.

As I recall, when the aliens were killed in "The Invaders" they dissolved into red flame, then dust... An intrepid reporter was tracking them down. Hmmmnn...

For three years (1999-2001) there was a SciFi channel show called "First Wave" where the aliens dissolved into red flame, then dust when they were killed... A man falsely convicted of murdering his wife (the aliens did it to set him up) was tracking down the aliens and their operation.

Seems a bit re-cycled.

Could be either, how would you know?

We should thank him for his contribution, let him retire
with dignity and MOVE ON.
