Some pills make you taller and some pills make you small
If you didn’t get a big enough laugh out of Bush’s petty moralizing at his stem cell research funding veto ceremony, here’s one for you:
Tim (I’m Only Looking Out for You) Pawlenty thinks the frequent television ads for prescription drugs are too much.
Yup, Tim’s bravely willing to fight the power of the pharmaceutical industry’s massive lobbying and political contribution muscle to make sure you’re properly informed by your doctor about which sleep or erection inducing medicine you should take. (Don’t forget, too, that the ads won’t tell you in which order to take said medicine, depending on your wife’s mood.)
Tim thinks that too many people are just going into their doctor and saying, “Gimme some of the uppers for my johnson and downers for afterwards,” without the benefit of an actual consultation with the expert on the other end of the prescription pen.
Tim, if you’re want to start regulating advertising that’s injurious to our health, you really ought to start with Coca Cola and all the rest of the crap that’s full of high fructose corn syrup.
Maybe if all those men who have lifestyle-induced diabetes ever ate a vegetable or took a walk, they wouldn’t have the infrequent erections and frequent urination that are keeping them awake in the first place. That will solve a lot of the pill problems right there.
