Stay seated (Wizbang)

I have a hard time making sense of this news.

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."

Question is- What was the boyfriend doing for the last two years?

Wizbang Blue: It's up to Barack and Hillary and You and Me

I don't believe that it's solely up to Obama. No question he needs to reach out and welcome former Clinton supporters into the camp - but the job isn't his alone. Hillary Clinton should and, I'm confident will -- reach out as well and help pull together Democrats, helping to unite the party. But it will take more than Hillary and Barack's efforts. It will take all of us Democrats reaching out to heal the divide that'll really drive this process.

I new a guy who had his ex-in-his-mind-not-in-hers girlfriend sit in his company car all day (she refused to get out, so he just parked it and went into the office). But this takes the cake.

The question I have is where did she get food and toilet paper from? Someone had to be enabling this (assuming it isn't an urban legend). Because I suspect that well before the skin starts to attach itself to plumbing fixtures, not feeding her would have gotten her to get off the pot.

Say, how come they are considering charges against the boyfriend, and not the toilet?

It's just like when Eliot Spitzer prosecuted prostitution rings . . . they never go after the john.

hello pretty:

"Authorities are considering charges."

Why is it that the state's answer to almost every question is to charge someone?

Who knew it was illegal to sit on a toilet seat, or let someone else do so?

Of course, there is mental illness involved here, "charges" do not seem like a good solution.
