quote:

Robert Novak, the conservative columnist who learned recently that he has a brain tumor, says his condition is “dire” and he has retired, his home newspaper, the Chicago Sun-Times, reported on Monday.

Mr. Novak, 77, announced on July 28 that the tumor had been diagnosed the day before, and he released a statement saying that he had suspended his writing and television appearances, but hoped to return to them. He was admitted to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, after feeling ill while he and his wife, Geraldine, were visiting their daughter in Massachusetts.

At the time, his assistant told the Sun-Times that he would undergo a biopsy in the next few days in an attempt to determine the severity of his condition.

How can you not know you hit somebody with your car?




Level -> RE: Robert Novak retires (8/4/2008 6:44:39 PM)

Drink some whiskey, take a spin, and nod off?
 
Or have a brain tumor?
 
I dunno.....

A tumor can screw up your vision (close down peripheral, or cut one side off).  If you didn't see out to your right front fender, for instance, you might just conclude that you hit a pothole or such.

thorn, that's probably a better answer than my whiskey one.

Your whiskey one was a good answer!




thornhappy -> RE: Robert Novak retires (8/5/2008 4:04:01 PM)

Yep, but all he would've needed were beer goggles, they're cheaper!

Good riddance to the old prick.

(Anyone else know if his hit and run victim is okay?)
