Yeah, the friend might be thinking that talking about her kid to her friend in the hospital is comforting and distracting. This gives her a chance to apologize and talk with the letter writer about what she’s going through.

How are you not in the greys? Nobody has to hold themselves to “racial norms” whatever the hell you mean by that. We can all make our own identity. We’re all free to be, act, and dress however we want. There’s no such thing as a racial norm.

yoisthisracist.com advises us all to yell and curse at people when they say or do something racist.

It’s weird but Breitbart hasn’t published anything about this yet.

“Corporate nation.” I guess that’s their new name for America.

Hard to believe this was only last year.

Photos of overpackaged, overpriced, dried up, gimmicky junk food make me sad. No, scratch that. It’s the junk food itself that makes me sad.

I do trust you will be … discreet

I know! As I keep saying to people, the worst part of the 1930s was the incessant focus on politics, politics, politics.

Ask the body what makes Wisconsin so uniquely racist. I guarantee that within 3 minutes he’ll accidentally contradict himself by saying, “It’s no different from any other sta....”

1. Multiple commenters have posted that Bush has been doing this for decades.

It’s fascinating to see how many people are excusing this behavior as dementia even though that excuse isn’t even hinted at in Bush’s spokesperson’s extremely forthright statement and even after multiple commenters have posted that Bush has been doing this for decades.

I should’ve been more clear: yes, inappropriate sexual behavior is a symptom of dementia. But what Bush is doing doesn’t look like that. It seems way more cogent, and he doesn’t have other symptoms that are just as visible or are keeping his team from letting him do PR gigs.

This discussion no longer matters since other commenters have posted that Bush has being doing this for decades. Maybe I’m wrong that when dementia causes inappropriate sexual behavior, it doesn’t look as cogent as this, it doesn’t go as unmanaged as this, and it doesn’t occur without other symptoms of cognitive…

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying: when this kind of behavior is caused by dementia, there are other behaviors that go along with it. Also, it has a different, loopier, more uneven appearance.

“I don’t give a fuck” != “sexual assault time!”

I’ve never lived in a safe space. Maybe part of why I volunteer to work with people with cognitive decline is that I grew up around people with intellectual disabilities. I know how that can affect behavior and emotion.

I’m sorry about your grandpa. I know it’s really hard to watch people you love suffer from that kind of decline.

Generally any symptom of dementia presents with other symptoms. And the paid caregivers of wealthy people usually have training in managing it, at least to the extent that complete strangers (who aren’t paid medical personnel) aren’t sexually assaulted.
