But more important than any of this -- for our politically minded purposes here at Doomed Generation, in any case -- is brain fog. Wikipedia defines brain fog as "episodes of cognitive dysfunction or confused thinking. Brain fog is associated with forgetfulness, losing one's train of thought, depersonalization, the inability to remember the correct words when speaking or writing (aphasia)."
Sound like any presidents you know? You bet, ace. Brain fog, notably, is a symptom of long-term Lyme Disease, and the news just came out yesterday that Bush suffered from that tick-born plague.
Not much has been written about the effects of brain fog on the Bush administration. The syndrome is not commonly known, as it generally results only from Lyme Disease, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, or psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia or manic-depression. And while the White House played down how badly the president suffered from Lyme Disease, if there's anything we can trust about news from the White House, it's that we can't trust any of it.
Who knows? Bush could've been hit with a blood-sucking little insect years ago. It certainly explains the constant fumbling for words, as well as the tendency to forget where he is, who he is, how he got there and even how to properly eat a pretzel. And it gets worse, ace. Oh, ye gods, does it get worse.
How long before the president decides that life is little more than a waking dream, and then nukes Iran simply because "it seemed the right thing to do?" We're in a race against time now. January 2009 cannot come soon enough. Hell, brain fog is only one of the many neuropsychiatric symptoms that we, as American citizens, must now consider.
The president finally, terminally sinking into deep psychosis is a real possibility. At the next State of the Union speech, he'll come rolling into Congress with his necktie wrapped around his forehead, his shirt unbuttoned, and a machete in either hand. Will our Democratic congressmen, who have been rolling over left and right, be able to defend themselves against a machete-wielding maniac who believes the portrait of Richard Nixon hanging in the West Wing has ordered him to kill them all? It's almost too much to bear.
