Has he opened his tea party charter school yet, with armed teachers hired from Kelly Services teaching little kids to be a bigoted as he is using the only textbook anyone needs, the Holy Bible?

Gyges posted:14th amendment. Well if this would be about LGBT not being a protected class, they aren't a protected class in federal civil rights either. RFRA is totally horrible but I don't see what sending in the army to enforce federal law, especially a law in which the feds have one that is pretty similar except in a few (albeit key) areas, would be hilarious.

A lexical analysis of Reagan's speeches shows his early onset of Alzheimer's (paywalled); by the end, he was falling to the level of GWB:   (And no, "S. Wang" is not Sam Wang, hilarious as that would be.)

I'm still not convinced that Alzheimer's had much to do with Reagan's issues near the end of his term. It's s pretty common talking point on the left that he was a dottering old fool, but most things I've seen about him is that he was still quite eloquent and calculating until well after he left office. He was a terrible person and ruined American discourse for years to come so let's not let him get off easy by saying he was senile. He was just rotten.

If yall just read the drat abstract, not even the abstract, the link description on scholar, you'd be pleased to see that it's from non scripted press conferences that they pulled the word count. Otherwise yes I'd say that's a horrible idiot way of measuring alzheimers progression but we're not talking about Uncle Jim's Journal of Michelob Lite and Spike TV here.

He didn't write his own speeches so why would his Alzheimer's come through on those? He had so many handlers all the way through that I don't think it's possible to really tell from this.

whitey delenda est posted:That data. Isn't. From. Written. Speeches. You are absolutely right and I didn't notice that. Regardless, there is still dubious evidence (to me, a biochemist) that unique word use is a valid diagnostic tool for dementia. They only state that there is correlation between dementia and unique word use and the use of "filler" words. Id wager that you would see the same pattern in people who are tired. Also the p-values of .34 seem a little high for me for HWs speech patterns, but that might be acceptable in that field.

Tons of WH correspondents have commented on how his mental capacities deteriorated towards the end. quote:Reagan was as shriveled as a kumquat. He was so frail, his skin so paper-thin. I could almost see the sunlight through the back of his withered neck…His eyes were coated. Larry introduced us, but he had to shout. Had Reagan turned off his hearing aid? Also, how widespread is this rumor that Reid didn't get injured by exercising by instead from getting worked over by Vegas mob heavies.

On the topic of the Alzheimer's study, NYTimes expanded on it and does a pretty good job at not overselling the science at this point. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/31/health/parsing-ronald-reagans-words-for-early-signs-of-alzheimers.html?_r=0 quote:The findings, published in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease by researchers at Arizona State University, do not prove that Mr. Reagan exhibited signs of dementia that would have adversely affected his judgment and ability to make decisions in office.
