Bush has been hospitalized in Houston, Texas, for shortness of breath, his office said in a statement. [/quote]
The man is 92 years old at this point. I'm hoping he recovers but I don't think it's looking too optimistic.
For clarity's sake, this is the rad bush, not the steel-beam destroyer.
if he does unfortunately kick it, 92 isn't a bad age to finish up on
If he kicks it now, dude had a pretty good presidency to leave behind as a legacy. Edit: wrong bush because i am apparently too good at reading comprehension
[QUOTE=PsycheClops;51689351]The man is 92 years old at this point. I'm hoping he recovers but I don't think it's looking too optimistic.[/QUOTE] Shortness of breath doesn't really sound extremely life threatening, though?
[QUOTE=AltF4 All Day;51689359]Hope it's nothing too serious. For all his flaws as a president, Dubya is a pretty cool human being[/QUOTE] wrong bush
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;51689361]Shortness of breath doesn't really sound extremely life threatening, though?[/QUOTE] Being short/not having enough of something necessary to survive sounds pretty scary and threatening.
That title is intentionally misleading and you know it.
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;51689460]That title is intentionally misleading and you know it.[/QUOTE] No it's not?
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;51689361]Shortness of breath doesn't really sound extremely life threatening, though?[/QUOTE] It can be indicative of some major issues in either the lungs or heart.
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;51689460]That title is intentionally misleading and you know it.[/QUOTE] how is it misleading
[QUOTE=Judas;51689503]how is it misleading[/QUOTE] the H is silent (obviously joking)
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;51689460]That title is intentionally misleading and you know it.[/QUOTE] It's been standard for decades to describe the pair as 'W. Bush' and 'H. W. Bush' to distinguish them.
[QUOTE=CatFodder;51689562]It's been standard for decades to describe the pair as 'W. Bush' and 'H. W. Bush' to distinguish them.[/QUOTE] Why wouldn't they just name him George! Like they did with Jeb!?
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;51689460]That title is intentionally misleading and you know it.[/QUOTE] Yes, Bush Sr named his son after himself purposely to make headlines confusing after they both became president

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;51689361]Shortness of breath doesn't really sound extremely life threatening, though?[/QUOTE] Really depends on why you are short of breath, and how short of breath. I mean, short of breath after a run? Totally normal. Then you have the gasping for air while on supplemental oxygen sort of SOB and that is a lot more scary. There are, of course, all sorts of stages in between.
He and ozzy goes on the list of 'holy fuck this fella is still alive'
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;51689361]Shortness of breath doesn't really sound extremely life threatening, though?[/QUOTE] Most people don't like to think of it as life-threatening because they can't afford to see the doctor over every single little problem.

What's with Americans naming their children after themselves? It's just weird imo.
[QUOTE=DogGunn;51692450]What's with Americans naming their children after themselves? It's just weird imo.[/QUOTE] It's a tradition thing. Not uncommon at all, especially throughout history. Hell, I'm technically a "second" myself.
[QUOTE=DogGunn;51692450]What's with Americans naming their children after themselves? It's just weird imo.[/QUOTE] "i'm an american, honey, our names don't mean shit"
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;51689361]Shortness of breath doesn't really sound extremely life threatening, though?[/QUOTE] When you're 92, everything is life threatening.
[QUOTE=OneFourth;51692447]Why was H W rad?[/QUOTE] Really, really smart guy, used to be the director of the CIA. Also really big on foreign policy and a big opponent of Reaganomics. Like President Carter, he was just put in a bad situation since 8 years of Reagan's economic policies finally crashed and burned, and people blamed him. Just a decently sensible and well-meaning guy all around.
[QUOTE=DogGunn;51692450]What's with Americans naming their children after themselves? It's just weird imo.[/QUOTE] I'm named after my father and I'm as Irish as can be. It's not exclusively an American thing.

[QUOTE=Cliff2;51689490]It can be indicative of some major issues in either the lungs or heart.[/QUOTE] You have written the almost exact same response (same keywords) that I was going to. Bizarre.

Imagine living long enough to see your country elect Trump and you're not going to see if it gets horribly fucked in the years to come.
