Well, This Is Fucking Sad

December 16, 2008 / Posted by: Michael K

I hate to be such a downer this early in the morning. It’s not too early to start hitting the booze again after reading this shit. You have my permission.

TMZ says that Peter Falk’s daughter, Catherine, filed papers in L.A. County Court asking for a conservatorship to protect her father. Catherine says that 81-year-old Columbo suffers from Alzheimer’s and dementia and can no longer make decisions. Peter currently needs 24-hour full-time care.

Catherine is afraid her daddy “can easily be deceived into transferring away property”and wants to protect him against evil doers who will take advantage of him.

A hearing has been set for next month.

Seriously, Alzheimer’s is the cruelest and most hideous disease ever. I’m sure most of you have known someone who suffers or suffered from it. I have and it’s the worst thing to witness. This gives me the sads.

Yeah, let’s start drinking again. You get the Sunny-D, I’ll get the vodka. Hey, Sunny-D has vitamins in it (I think), so it counts as a nutritious breakfast!
