The ugly american
Read on Nettime:
"A friend's mother, who is a native new yorker, was given the wrong
drug recently and was in a coma for 4 days. Fortunately they realized
it in time and she was brought out of it. They ran an MRI and things
looked good, but they wanted to verify that the woman had not lost
cognitive skills. The doctor asked her:
"What year is it?"
"2003" the woman answered.
"What month is it?"
"February."
"Who is the President"
"I'd rather not talk about it."
