    Default Chicago Obama Campaign Staffer Collapses and Dies..

    A staffer working at the Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago collapsed and died, the Chicago Tribune reported Saturday, citing campaign officials.

    Paramedics were dispatched shortly before 11 a.m. on Friday to attend to Alexander Okrent, 29, after he became unconscious, the report said, citing a Chicago Fire Department spokesman.

    He was pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m., the report said. Police were not called because the incident did not appear suspicious, but an autopsy was scheduled to determine the cause of death, it said.

    President Barack Obama, who was campaigning in Virginia, called Okrent’s family to offer condolences, the Tribune said, citing campaign officials.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Apparently they use paramedics there rather than the paralegals they use in Virginia...

    Talk about an inappropriate cheap shot. A human being died Damo. That's not funny.

    An autopsy was inconclusive pending further tests, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said Saturday.
