Moron of the Day: Neil Jorgensen
This dubious award goes to Neil Jorgensen of Kalona, IA, who managed to get himself fired from the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort by repeatedly requesting a prostitute at the same resort during his stay, and then appearing in the nude when hotel workers went to his room to ask him to stop. Jorgensen’s non-explanation:
The advertisement is that it’s just like Las Vegas, so I thought I was in Las Vegas.
Where, I might add, prostitution is also illegal. Oops.

How wonderful that news reports make fun of this man without taking into account that he had been drinking alcohol furnished by that same resort/casino. With a history of alcoholism, was Mr. Jorgensen the only individual at fault or should this casino look to its own culpability for not only providing the money (an award for one of its best employees) but also providing the virtual poison to an employee suffering the illness of alcoholism.
Quit laughing and pay attention to what really matters.

Dear Ruby
My Ex-husband Neil Jorgensen is even worse off now. He lays in bed drinking vodka 24/7. We were divorced this year after 39 1/2 years of marriage. It is very sad. I still love him. During his career he was a successful executive in the printing industry. We had a very good life. All of that is gone because of alcohol.
Thank you very much for saying people should pay attention to what is important.
Best Wishes
Sue Jorgensen
