| 2010-11-17 |
| Ed Treleven, Wisconsin State Journal Allegedly set off by Bristol Palin's appearance on "Dancing with the Stars," a rural Black Earth man kept police at bay outside his home for 15 hours Monday and Tuesday before he surrendered to police. Steven N. Cowan, 66, railed at the television as the daughter of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin appeared on the ABC program, his wife told police Monday after she fled from the town of Vermont house, according to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court. Cowan had also been under stress because of a financial situation and was receiving care for a mental health problem.... Wow! Didn't see that one coming. Cowan's wife, Janice, told police that her husband had been drinking, No kidding? There's a shocker. but she did not think he was intoxicated.... Let's think about this for a moment. Which of the following would be worse? (A) Your husband gets drunk out of his mind and then goes all Dog Day Afternoon over Dancing With the Stars. (B) Your husband goes all Dog Day Afternoon over Dancing With the Stars while he's stone cold sober. But wait! There is another alternative! (C) Your husband goes all Dog Day Afternoon over Dancing With the Stars while he's pleasantly inebriated. Don't forget (D) Your husband goes all Dog Day Afternoon and then goes Saw IV as a double-feature ... According to the complaint, Cowan and his wife were watching "Dancing with the Stars" when Cowan jumped up and swore as Bristol Palin appeared, saying something about "the (expletive) politics." Cowan was upset that a political figure's daughter was on the show when he didn't think she was a good dancer, the complaint states.... Instapundit snarks: Too much time reading the Daily Dish, I guess. At least, I heard he was screaming "It's not Sarah's baby! It's not Sarah's baby!". . . |

| #4 Cowan had also been under stress because of a financial situation and was receiving care for a mental health problem.... It's pretty standard now to medicate for anxiety and depression for stressful situations, the idea being to provide a cushion to keep one's response to the situation from getting out of control. Of course, if it's not the right medication for the individual, it can make things worse... |
