Bedtime for Bonzo

Pick two:

• A sound economy
• A healthy and stable society (yes, with universal health insurance)
• Global military dominance

For decades we have suffered a never-ending parade of hubristic fools who have actually believed that all three were simultaneously attainable. History, reality, and 3rd grade math of course suggest otherwise. Those Neocons who honestly believe that "Reagan defeated the Soviets" are going to find out via their tear-stained 401k statements that it was the seductive Faustian Bargain posed above, that brought down the Soviets, not a 'B' Actor with Alzheimer's playing "Bonzo Goes to Washington".

Apparently Prozac dealers (pharmacists) are trusted 7.5x as much as politicians. So anyone who has faith in this current doomed clusterfuck (euphemistically referred to as "the economy") is free-basing pure Prozac, obtained from a highly trusted source.

"Aw Fuck, Not This Again !"
I thought we fixed Wall Street with that last free money bailout..."
