Do you ever get that "too scared to talk" feeling when faced with imminent danger?
Does your stomach ever growl after a meal?
Are you ever happy?
Are you ever sad?
Are ever happy and sad, and a little angry - all at the same time?
If yes to any of the above, it is time for a new pill, made just for people like you by the EPFU (Enormous Profits For Us) Pharmaceuticals. This pill, called "Koma-tos" will put you out of your misery, for good. Koma-tos contains mild* amounts of narcotics and benzos, with a bit of sleeping medicine mixed in.
(*The use of the word "mild" is used according to the U.S. Vetinary Association's guidelines for horse tranquilizers)
Why haven't you heard of this drug before? Well, between you and me, it is probably because your doctor does not care about you, and probably wants to see you suffer!
Which might make you think, "Gee, maybe I will just order them from Canada, where I can bypass my doctor and get them cheaper." To which we would politely say, "Are you sure you trust some Communist leaning folks, people who believe in universal healthcare and the s*** m**** phrase (socialized medicine) to count your pills. I didn't think so!
What we suggest you do is to ask your doctor for Koma-tos by name, and if your doctor happens to be "latino-friendly", make sure that he does not confuse this with a cough medicine (as "tos" means cough in spanish). If he refuses, and gives you some line about "happiness not being a disease", make sure you contact our friend, Sue Forlots, a lawyer with expertise in handling such malpractice cases!
Side effects? We knew you would ask - but let's think for a second before worrying about side effects...do you really want to risk being happy any longer? Does it even matter what the side effects are when the sickness is so severe? Exactly!
But so the FDA is satisfied, here they are:
death, shock, coma, dizziness, happiness, sadness, fullness, embarrassment, poverty, etc.
Note: most (94%) users of Koma-tos are too sedated to give an accurate account of the side effects they are experiencing
So, from your friends at EPFU, where we "care about America, and care for America,"
Be well, be in health, be tranquil (and barely conscious) with Koma-tos.
In so doing, you can say "goodbye" to all of those pesky human experiences and emotions that have plagued you for so many years!

Love in the midst of greed
Having now viewed SiCKO, I am tempted to throw up my hands in disgust, and throw in the towel in defeat.
However, the love I felt for each of the victims in that movie, and the love I feel for the millions more that they represent, gives me no option but to press on in the face of greed and utter disrespect for fellow humans.
Let me say this - our notion that we need to simply insure the un-insured needs to be examined and re-examined, and then examined some more.
Do we mean to say that these folks are the "problem" with our health system, and therefore should be the target of our proposed solution?
Do we mean to say that these "poor, un-responsible folks who don't value their health and therefore choose not to have health insurance" are the ones to be fixed?
It sounds silly, but think about the logic - you fix what it broken, and attack what is the source of the problem.
I hear no one positing that maybe what we need to voting on in 2008 is a more genuine plan of fixing the larger system that creates, as one of many symptoms of its disease, the millions who are uninsured and underinsured.
That system, my friends, is called "unchecked profit motives running a health care system"
The medical analogy for this is a blood infection, also known as sepsis. Now, this life threatening condition has many symptoms, such as high fever. A very junior medical student might think that Tylenol would be arrented to attack the symptom of fever, but we all know that this is a ridiculous way to treat sepsis, one which will only worsen the problem.
In our current "progressive", "liberated" debate on healthcare, pushed as a way to appeal to voters, and appease the Big Business interests funding the campaigns, we are throwing Tylenol at a life threatening condition, treating the symptom of fever instead of focusing on the cause of the fever, the "microbes" of the for-profit machine (Insurance and Drug companies to name a few of the biggest perpetrators)....under we get serious about treating the disease, and not a symptom of the disease, we are only postponing the continued demise of treating humans as humans and health as a human right.
In love,
Anthony
