chavez, castro "politically paranoid"- so am i

[poe]

senator bill frist, the first practicing physician elected to the senate since 1928, plans to file a bill that would define 'political paranoia' as a mental illness. welcome to the wacky world of the 109th congress.
so for all those leaders in the "underdeveloped world" who think the CIA, NED, DIA, NSA and other such acronym-oriented spooks, have intentions on overthrowing your governments we have the cure for your delusions. take a paxil, buy a hoover vacuum and go with the flow.
for all you dissenters take your soma-by court order- and ease your way into aisle 9 where you'll find any number of plastic panaceas.
welcome to soft fascism

go to "swift report" or google "another day in the empire", kurt nimmo's blog and scroll down to jan. 7th entry. Foucault writes a few masterpieces about how "mental disorder" is used as a tool of the state to justify incarceration.
"rick smith a spokesman for senator frist says that the measure has a good chance of passing-something that can only help a portion of the population that is suffering significant distress."

It’s not the stolen election or the war crimes committed in my name. It’s not the fact Bush is a liar and a criminal. It’s not the Strausscons in the White House and the Pentagon, plotting multiple wars in the Middle East and elsewhere. It’s not Congress, sold out to neolibs, multinational corporations, and Wall Street loan sharks.

It’s me.

I’m suffering from “political paranoia” and need Paxil, a prescription drug for the treatment of anxiety and depression. It’s not the 100,000 dead killed by my government in Iraq. It’s not torture or loose talk of nuking enemies. It is a serotonin imbalance in my brain. I suffer from any number of possible maladies—depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (thus writing this blog every day), and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. I suffer from mental illness and need help.

Congress may come to the rescue—and soon.

“When the 109th Congress convenes in Washington in January, Senator Bill Frist, the first practicing physician elected to the Senate since 1928, plans to file a bill that would define ‘political paranoia’ as a mental disorder, paving the way for individuals who suffer from paranoid delusions regarding voter fraud, political persecution and FBI surveillance to receive Medicare reimbursement for any psychiatric treatment they receive,” writes Hermione Slatkin, Medical Correspondent for the Swift Report. “Rick Smith, a spokesman for Senator Frist, says that the measure has a good chance of passing—something that can only help a portion of the population that is suffering significant distress.”

Finally, note that I could not find mention of Frist and the classification of “political paranoia” after a lengthy Google news search. Mention of it only appeared on the Swift Report website. Rick Smith’s above quote returned no results. Of course, this does not mean that Bill Frist and the Republicans do not consider the opposition—including more than a few Democrats—as mental cases and tinfoil hatters. Rush Limbaugh calls us nutters every day and millions of gullible Americans take what he says as gospel.

5. This is the same guy

Who admitted to acquiring cats, performing a variety of "experiments" on them and then killing them...... he regretted it but he did admit to torturing these animals.

This is based on a satirical post at a blog. It's intended as a joke, and this is not likely to happen in the real world.
