David Sirota: John McCain's brainwatch
http://sharpynews.com/politics/john-mccain/john-mccain-news/join-the-brainwatch-mccain%E2%80%99s-brain-falters-again%E2%80%A6and-again%E2%80%A6and-john-mccain%E2%80%A6/




'Unfortunately for John McCain, over many years he abused his brain. Head trauma (blows to the head) and binge drinking are both associated with increased risk of brain problems in later life. In recent weeks, McCain’s repeatedly had difficulty remembering basic information. He’s even had trouble recalling basic facts such as

* what car he drives
* how many houses he owns
* the Mayflower carried some Americans’ ancestors, but no Americans’ descendants.'
'Over six months ago at the Lake, we learned about brain function and McCain’s brain. One thing we learned about was dementia pugilistica: the fancy medical name for senility from boxing. Our brains weren’t designed for boxing — or other repetitive forms of head trauma.'
