LIMBAUGH: "But Rush, why would somebody want to harm America?" Because he doesn't like it. He thinks it's unjust and immoral and unfair. The people that have wealth in this country have come by it ways that he thinks they haven't deserved and been honest about. He wants to take the nation's wealth and return it to the people he thinks deserve it. He wants to redistribute money so people losing their jobs and the high-income people getting their taxes raised -- it's by design, and it's not to raise money for the treasury. It is not to raise money for the government. It's to remake the country in its very foundations. http://mediamatters.org/limbaughwire/2009/08/03#0039

I should have played Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beach boys for this comment. Once again I agree with almost every word issued from the mouth of rush hatemore. I mean if only this was my president's plan.

But with Health Insurance Proposals blowin up; birther's issuing fake certificates; paid protesters interrupting the speeches of our representatives; and ABC canceling THE UNUSUALS, I get depressed. But I guess a lot of us are getting depressed:

Americans just can't get enough of their pills. A new study finds that the number of Americans on antidepressants doubled from 1996 to 2005, sending the total number of people using the medications to 27 million. Interestingly, the percentage of people seeking psychotherapy while on antidepressants dropped over the same 10-year period--80 percent of antidepressant users were prescribed their pills by doctors other than psychiatrists. The study also finds that half of the users are taking the pills for reasons beyond their intended purpose, including "back pain, nerve pain, fatigue, sleep difficulties, or other problems." A major reason for the increase is that doctors are "more comfortable prescribing antidepressants," one expert told USA Today.  http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/?cid=hp:cheatsheet4#cheatrow_8105

I suppose I could play White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane. I take a stupid pill once a day. I got mad and stopped for a month.  Turns out it is an appetite suppressant. So I went back on the rx. 

But as if the pill dumping is not bad enough, look at this gem:

Studies suggest doctors should be cautious about prescribing antidepressants to children. In 2004, the Food and Drug Administration issued a "black box" warning that the medications could increase the risk of suicidal thoughts in children. Use of antidepressants by children fell nearly 10% the next year, according to Olfson's 2008 study of the subject. Antidepressant use had been rising so quickly in the years before the warning, however, that the rate of use in 2005 was still higher than in 1996.

I don't know, I spent the fourth, fifth and sixth grades in the cloakroom.  I never got any pills. The best cure-all I ever got was Vicks Vaporub.  I shall end on this note:

The entire economy, it is exploding

Unemployment flarin, income tankin 

You're old enough to get ill, but not for healin

You cant believe your tv, but what's that remote you're totin'

And even the damn pc has spam afloatin'

But you tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don't believe

The whole damn thing's

So depressin'.

I got a bumpersticker on my godamn forehead

Can't you understand what I'm tryin to say?

The narc just nabbed my pusher, so all I got is the pharmacy

There'll be no way to save, with the pill bills I pay

Take a look around ya boy, it's bound to scare ya boy]

But you tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don't believe

The whole damn thing's

So depressing.

Yeah, my blood's so mad feels like coagulatin'

I'm takin these pills to make it start thinnin'

I can't twist off the cap cause of my arthritis.

Handful of capsules still cant cure my bowel obstruction

And walkin alone can't cure constipation

And my whole entire body is just disintegratin'

My whole crazy existence is just too frustratin'

But you tell me

Over and over and over again, my friend

Ah, you don't believe

The whole damn thing's

So depressing.
