MOM'S DIMENSIA and the SENATE VOTE TO BLOCK WITNESSES AND DOCUMENTS [View all]

[bubbazero]

My elderly mother suffers from Parkinson's Induced Spatial Disorientation. In short though spaces look familiar, including recognizing key elements (pictures, decorations etc.) she can't quite make the connection to recognize where she is. I am now her full time caretaker, along with trying to help on the farm. Mom's got lots of other health issues, bedrest on bad days--wheel chair on good days. Her response to todays Senate vote on witnesses; (classic)--"I AM LAYING HERE, NOT REALLY SURE WHERE I AM, AND EVEN I KNOW YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE RELEVANT WITNESSES AND DOCUMENTS INTRODUCED IN ORDER TO HAVE A FAIR TRIAL." She then looked at me and asked what was wrong with these republicans? My answer was not nearly as good as her last comment--her observation to the republicans--(quote from WWII-Yamamoto, I think) "DEAR REPUBLICANS--BE AFRAID, FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS AWAKEN A SLEEPING GIANT AND FILL HIM WITH A TERRIBLE RESOLVE"
