Anti-psychotic Drugs, Republican Revolution


Every few years the drug companies push certain drugs by giving free samples to doctors, creating nice, four color brochures, and having sales representatives pass them out in person. Back in the 60's there was Valium, Ritalin, and different types of methamphetamines popularized as "Mother's Little Helpers" that were dispensed like candy, and many people became addicted.

Today it's becoming popular to prescribe antipsychotic drugs to children and teenagers, especially if they have been diagnosed with ADD. A federal panel of drug experts today issued a warning to the public about several antipsychotic drugs. Just as Ritalin messed up kids who took it over a long period of time, this class of drugs can cause permanent physical damage and death, which I think you'll agree is a tad more serious. If you or your child has seen a psychiatrist, or even if your regular doctor has prescribed Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Abilify, or Geodon, get as far away from that ignorant quack as you can and find a more reliable one. Find a healthy way to get off of these drugs and look into more traditional ways of dealing with problems like ADD.

Your political party has just been trounced in two successive elections, the American public is tired of the psychotic right-wing ideology and dirty campaigning practiced over the last 20 years; so what do you do?

That's right, you do nothing. The Republican Party has just re-elected their Congressional leaders, Mitch McConnell as Senate Leader, John Kyl as whip, Lamar Alexander as caucus chair, and House Minority Leader is John Boehner. Together, these guys will be whining and work as ineffective as they have been in the past.

Too bad Chuck Hagel is retiring, sure could use a no-nonsense straight talker like him right about now. He even took on speed rapper Rush Limbaugh as a blowhard who should run for office instead of making tens of millions on the radio making crap up as if it were real. I remember Rush when he was a small time jockey out of Sacramento, back then he couldn't get no respect...
