Oh, well, that's much better!

WHDH is reporting that Richard Heartquist, husband of Ward 1 City Councillor Alison Heartquist, is now claiming he was not in the SUV that hit another vehicle because he was in the car of another woman, doing whatever.

Also there is a report in today's Daily News.

Drunken people often do stupid things. They need help.

AA can work wonders for people who want to stop drinking. Looks like someone needs to stop drinking and step cheating on his wife as well. Idiot!

Ah, Manager, the magic words here are "who want to stop drinking."

Sadly, the spouse/significant other relationship seems to be the first casualty in these situations. Unless the person kills someone else first, of course ...

But then there is the added ingredient of the co-dependent partner in the relationship, whether its the spouse of this troubled low life, or someone else who trades his/her self respect and dignity to live with/love an addict because they need a roof over their heads.

This story is a persoanl tragedy for all involved, and a reminder that NOBODY is really in a position to pass judgement on another

So you would advocate for just letting the addict go on with his/her self destructive life? I think many addicts need all the help and support they can get from their loved ones. And if you go live with someone (anyone), it should be because you love them and want to share your life w/them - and NOT because you need a roof over your head. That's just stupid.
