Novak diagnosed with brain tumor

Not a big fan but wouldn't wish this on anyone, my thoughts are with him and his family.

Quote:
Michael Calderone's Blog: Novak diagnosed with brain tumor - Politico.com

Columnist Bob Novak has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Novak's statement:

"On Sunday, July 27, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I have been admitted to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, where doctors will soon begin appropriate treatment.

"I will be suspending my journalistic work for an indefinite but, God willing, not too lengthy period.

To echo conservatives, here and elsewhere, when Ted Kennedy was diagnosed; GOOD!

Point taken, I have my moments. However, when it comes to those falling ill or dying it's something that always makes me sad when people wish it on them, especially when they have never done anything wrong other than spewing their opinions.

This kind of situation is always a difficult and complicated one to know
how one's response should be determined.

Robert Novak is the definition of "asshole".

He was/is a tool for the biggest failure of a presidency in three decades
and aided the outing of a CIA agent and may have put other agent's
lives at risk.

He is clearly a contemptible human being, and we should perhaps be
grateful he went into journalism instead of some profession where he
could have wreaked even more havoc on a more regular basis.

Those who believe in karma may say this is simply the way the universe
corrects mistakes, those who believe in gods either loving or vengeful
may say this is either that god's vengeance or the result of all mankind's
"fallen state" making everyone, high, low, good or evil, subject to the
rain as well as the sun. Some of us will see it as the random fate
we believe it is.
Whatever else it may be, it is a horrible and devastating disease.
As reprehensible as he is, Mr. Novak has people who love him and they
will suffer in a different way, just as there are far too many who
suffer through the last stages of their loved one's lives and who never
receive the vast outpouring of sympathy even the Novak family will have
coming their way, based only on their most famous member's notoriety.

We all do. Agreed.

Like with Snow, I don't wish death on anyone. Its coming for us all sooner or later.

But I can't help but notice how beneficial to mankind it is when ultra this-n-thats die and thus weaken the ass-hole gene pool. If they wish to be remembered fondly and grieved by me, they have to earn it and these two did not.

They will be replaced by other's almost as bad, but its the 'almost' I'm cheering.

Fair enough but I am sure these people have family and loved one's who will disagree.
