Maybe he was just born a Asshat, and is a late bloomer. OSA didn't cause the rise of Hitler either. Jim

"Asshat" is officially now, the word of the day.

Charlie gives Dogs a bad name. Jim

Really I like the show, it's just a shame he gets his money from it, and that enables his chosen life style.

You might be right--Charlie looked like someone who hadn't slept in a few years, at a least

I haven't decided which is more pathetic--Charlie Sheen or the fact that I actually watched that interview

He said that he could go 7 days without sleep. Is that drugs or OSA? He seems to think that he is superhuman with his highly evolved brain. Maybe he just needs to mask up and shut up.

Are "Rach" and "Natty" part of therapy? The DME hasn't sent them to my house yet.

(I apologize for this remark, but I couldn't resist.)

You mean the "godesses"? Yes, they could be a part of what is keeping him awake at night.

The boy looked kinda' bad without his makeup and OSA doesn't render me incoherent as it has Charlie (if he really does have it).

Not necessarily. At some point, he may have killed so many brain cells that it went over the tipping point and his brain may be irreversibly fried.

The best thing the "entertainment industry" could do right now is just to ignore him......and quit having interviews with him. All of that is just feeding his ego and making him feel more important than he is.

On the other hand, it's making him a poster boy for an anti-drug campaign.

PS. I also find it ironic that last year we were having a discussion about "legalizing drugs". I still vote "No" on that one.
