This might explain why he's been acting so strange lately. Not making fun of the guy, my father in law (a man who could do quadratic equations in his head and spoke 5 languages fluently) was slowly killed by one. The worst part was he KNEW what was going on. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ ... smsnnews11 Even though dislike him I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

My father died of a brain tumor. First symptoms in late November, diagnosed in early December, died the following February. According to my mother, he didn't appear to have any higher brain function from about mid January.

Horrible way to go.

At least he was in a VA facility in Clearwater, Florida. One of the nicer ones.

I had a boss die of that. Terrible thing. I also wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Probably too soon to be hoping for a better replacement? :oops:

A friend at work lost a 5-year old son to that. Went from "Mom, my leg's asleep!" in October, to a funeral in February. For most of the last month, he was on life support.

God be with him. Now he should go through the VA, and point out all the current issues as he does so.

Well this doesn't take long. I love the "war criminal" talk. What part of being tortured for 8 years made him a war criminal? F'ing idiots.

The guy's university said:
“As a public institution, we do not and cannot regulate the private speech of students, faculty or staff,” the spokesperson said. “However, that should not imply the university’s endorsement of any particular viewpoint.”
How come that's only the case some of the time?
