Wondering if you are demented? Take this quick exam that Neurologists use.

Back in the 1980s I was in a car wreck that put me in the hospital for a couple of days. I'd hit my head hard, due to having neglected to use my seatbelt after our lunch stop. A Neurologist came in to see me early on, while I was still in the ER. He looked at my eyes moving and then asked me 3 questions:
• What's your name? "Moderator", I answered, errr, correctly.
• Do you know where you are? "In the hospital." Was I that much of a smartass then? I can't remember. Probably not.
• Who is the President of the United States? "Ronald Reagan!" As best as I could in the ER, I raised my fist in the air, as in "Hell, yeah!"
The Neurologist smiled, glad to see I was fine, and he could go back to the golf course and feel comfortable charging me somebody for that minute and a half.

While reading a recent post by VDare's long-term writer and editor James Fulford, I saw those same 3 questions, as applied to the diagnosis of Dementia. In his post Biden Administration Dialing Back Wide-Open Border, But TIME Interview Shows Biden Apparently Unaware Of This, Mr. Fulford brings these standard basic questions up:
• Do you know what your name is? (Correct Answer: Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.)
• Do you know where you are now? (Correct Answer: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, D.C.)
• Do you know who the President of the United States is? (Correct answer: No one really knows.)
Haha! Good point. If Bai Dien had answered "Me" for #3 without noting that the Deep State must run the whole show now, as demented as everyone knows he is, then he'd be obviously incorrect. Getting one of these simple questions wrong means the prognosis is positive, as in, yes, he's demented. If he doesn't know who's really President, then he's answered correctly, meaning he's not demented, meaning, so ... It's a hell of a catch, that Catch-22.

And if I was the President,
the minute congress calls my name,
I'd say now, who do,
who do you think you're foolin'?
I've got the Presidential seal.
I'm up on the Presidential podium.



My mama loves me. She loves me.
She gets down on her knees and hugs me.
Like she loves me like a rock.
She rocks me like the rock of ages and loves me.

The background singers on Loves me like a Rock and a number of other songs on Paul Simon's great 1973 album There Goes Rhymin' Simon were The Dixie Hummingbirds.

PS: I hope so too, Mr. Moderator.

I don't want any trouble.

Sunday it is!

I saw Chicago in concert. Once. Years ago. Like 1995ish.

How time flies. ☮️

PS: I hope that question doesn't cause you any trouble, Adam. If you end up in the Dementia ward, I'll pick you up on Sunday. Remember, Sunday.

I am familiar with Chicago the band - that's one of my favorites, but a lot are. Their music should appear here more regularly. "Feeling Stronger Every Day" was for Trump's '17 inauguration, for what that was worth...

PS: Good morning, Mr. Moderator!

Does anybody really know who the "president" is?

(Care?) Does anybody really care?

I can't imagine why.

(Oh no, no) we've all got time enough to die...

Sometimes the Neurologist (with a capital N) will ask the patient what day of the week it is.

While this may seem like an easy enough question to most people, some of us artistic types simply do not know what day of the week it is because we don't really have to know what day of the week it is.

(Oh no, no) I just don't know, I don't, I don't, oh

And I can't imagine why. ☮️
