Sharon Medical Update - PM Sharon Still in Coma

Prime Minister Sharon's brain likely suffered great damage during his stroke. His brain appears active and his condition is stable, but he remains in a medically inducted coma that he may never come out of. He will remain in that coma at least 48 hours.
Recriminations are beginning. Hospital officials have linked his conditions to his legal troubles. Not to sound bitter, but if this wave of investigations against the Sharon family implodes like the last one, they may have just murdered a Prime Minster. Regardless, this ought to piss you off:

United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan expressed concerns about Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s critical condition, saying he had advised Sharon to cut down his work hours after he had suffered a mild stroke. (Yitzhak Benhorin)

What was that phone call like? "Prime Minister Sharon, you really should stop working so much on the diplomatic and military situation. Also, I'm getting ready to lead yet another diplomatic offensive against Israel in the General Assembly. Rest well." Kofi Annan advising Prime Minister Sharon to relax is like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad advising Prime Minister Sharon to relax - they're the reason for his stress. We tried to think of a more clever analogy, but we're genuinely depressed by PM Sharon's condition. He literally worked himself to death trying to keep Israel safe.
