Signs You May be Drunk #12 (Forgetting Important Details About your Family)
John Boehner, when asked whether he agrees with those who say that extending unemployment benefits makes the jobless less motivated to find work:

“No, I’ve got real empathy for those who are unemployed…. I’ve got 11 brothers and sisters. I know three of my brothers lost their jobs. I’m not sure whether they have found jobs yet. So I’ve got a lot of empathy for those that are caught in this economic downturn.”

1. It could also be some kind of pre-mature cognitive impairment.
My mom starts crying pretty easily these days when she's stressed out and she was never a cryer before.

Isn't this sort of sudden, too? Maybe he should get a scan.

4. I once forgot the name of my newborn nephew. I thought he was named something
else. To be fair to myself I was going through the worst stress in the world at the time.

5. He knows they lost their jobs, but doesn't know if they ever found them.
Yep, sounds like your typical Repuker. He knows they are suffering, but doesn't really care.

6. Well, to be fair...
maybe the family isn't that close.

Maybe his brothers haven't spoken to him in a long time...or vice versa.


I only have three sisters and one brother and most of the time I have to find out information about them from my mom.

Sometimes family business causes things like that...
