Last week, conservative columnist Bob Novak ran his car into an 86-year-old homeless man and then drove off, apparently oblivious. Now the 77-year-old journalist has been hospitalized with a brain tumor. Sheesh! Bad week! Anyway no one knows how bad it is yet, though he can still talk and issue statements and so on. And no one knows either whether the tumor caused his bizarre accident, because really it was bound to happen anyway with the way he drives. [Sun-Times]
