I’m amused to learn that The Nation columnist Eric Alterman got arrested at tonight’s Democratic debate after he crashed a closed party and raided the open bar. Considering how boring these early crowded debates are I can’t say I blame Alterman. But, still, I would have stayed home and watched The Sopranos. Bobby got killed, Silvio’s in a coma. Tony’s in hiding. Good stuff. Speaking of which, my local news reported that a man woke up today after a 19 year coma. I guess that means he missed the end of Reagan’s presidency and every thing since. Someone is going to have to explain this current President to him. I have a feeling that he won’t be pleased.

You should check on the guy who woke up from a coma. I read an article online about that, but the guy lives in Poland, not the U.S.
From the BBC, Pole wakes up from 19-year coma:
A Pole wakes from a 19-year coma to find the Communists ousted from power and no more petrol queues
I think this will still be accurate: “Someone is going to have to explain this current [U.S.] President to him. I have a feeling that he won’t be pleased.”
agreed.
This probably says more about me than anything….but after reading the headline “Pole wakes up from 19 year coma” all I could think was…wow, that viagra is good stuff.
you’re bad.
Booman I have to disagree with you and tampopo. This guy, 20 year coma, is my s-i-l’s cousin. I’ve never met him and don’t know him, but I think he could give a shit about what’s going on in the world.
I understand where you’re going with this, but it’s not nice to fool mother nature, or use the infirm to make a point.
I wasn’t intending to make fun of the infirm at all. But it would be odd to have missed the last 19 or 20 years.
Booman I know you weren’t and I apologize. Just a little bit opinionated or talkative tonight. Don’t know what’s going on. This usually isn’t me.
…step away from the Merlot. 🙂
Sorry FamilyMan.
This guy goes into a coma in 1987 and doesn’t wake up for 20 years. The first thing he asks is, “How’s Reagan doing?”
“You mean Ronald Reagan?” the doctor says. “He’s dead.”
The guy falls back onto his pillow with a moan.
“What’s the matter?” the doctor says.
“If Reagan’s dead that means that idiot Bush is president.”
