What's up with Bruce Castor?

I noted him shaking his left hand at times while speaking. At other times he would grab and hold a pen in awkward way. Perhaps could he have a neurological disorder?

Does he have Parkinsons? Diabetic neuropathy? Aspergers? DTs? Phobias around public speaking? None of it is any of our business or a basis for attacking him. So why discuss it any more than Schoen's religious observance?

My left hand sometimes has uncontrolled spasm from a spinal injury.

Probably from a pen leak ... or the mark of the beast.
