Reviews as Political Debate at Amazon

I thought it was amusing that Amazon has added this note to the top of the review section on
this book.

Important note from Amazon.com: We've decided to suspend our normal customer review policies and rules for this title. For example, we usually prohibit ad hominem attacks. That policy in particular seems to be incompatible with presidential election year politics. Therefore, short of obscenities, reviews on this book are now a free-for-all.

Watch those painkillers

So I'm at lunch today and Jason asks if I've talked to Eric this week or not... No, I hadn't yet.... why?

"Well, I got curious about how he could be an engineer here and all, with his mental problems," says Jason, "so I was talking to someone about him and they told me that he isn't really like that."

"Really?" I ask.

"No," says Jason, "It was the painkillers he was taking for his arm." 

"Really? Wow," I thought.

"Yeah, his boss or someone finally noticed he was acting weird and said something to him about it. "


Yeah.. so ... odd... now I don't know what to think.  I talked to him today to let him know I couldn't drive him home (had to go to John's for catsitting details and dinner) and he was speaking more coherently (less umm and stuttering)... but still really low volume.  Hard to hear.


Anyway... beware the drugs you take :)
I guess that's why his doctor told him not to drive!  and here I was thinking it was because you need two hands.
