Spitzer Who???

No, I'm not going to bore you with the Spritzer story. But if you've had you head in the sand for the past 48 hours, I will tell you that the Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, was forced to resign following disclosure of his involvement in an interstate prostitution ring. The big crime here isn't sex, however, it's hypocrisy.

With all the news stories that may somehow be relevant to the world, I'll present to you instead the most emailed story of the day. Why does this pass for news??? And more importantly, what are the odds that we'll ever hear about the outcome here? Is the woman mentally ill? Well, I can probably answer that to some degree, but I'd like to see something more official down the line.

Sheriff: Woman sat on toilet for 2 years

By ROXANA HEGEMAN, Associated Press Writer

WICHITA, Kan. - Authorities are considering charges in the bizarre case of a woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years — so long that her body was stuck to the seat by the time the boyfriend finally called police.

Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.

"She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body," Whipple said. "It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself."

He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.

"And her reply would be, `Maybe tomorrow,'" Whipple said. "According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom."

The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that "there was something wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.

Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was "somewhat disoriented," and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.

"She said that she didn't need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave," he said.

She was reported in fair condition at a hospital in Wichita, about 150 miles southeast of Ness City. Whipple said she has refused to cooperate with medical providers or law enforcement investigators.

Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

Police have declined to release the couple's names, but the house where authorities say the incident happened is listed in public records as the residence of Kory McFarren. No one answered his home phone number.

The case has been the buzz of Ness City, said James Ellis, a neighbor.

"I don't think anybody can make any sense out of it," he said.

Ellis said he had known the woman since she was a child but that he had not seen her for at least six years.

He said she had a tough childhood after her mother died at a young age and apparently was usually kept inside the house as she grew up. At one time the woman worked for a long-term care facility, he said, but he did not know what kind of work she did there.

"It really doesn't surprise me," Ellis said. "What surprises me is somebody wasn't called in a bit earlier."

And there you have it! All the news you need to know for March 12, 2008.

Did you ever think that what she was sitting on for two years is sometimes called the... "john"... well, it just occurred to me. So you needn't worry about those "little Johnny" stories any longer.

The whole situation is really strange. The boyfriend didn't even think of calling for help sooner? He needs just as much help as she does. I can't help but wonder if they had a second bathroom, because obviously he couldn't use the toilet. Strange!!
